About Me

Hi there!

 

I'm Carla Alcántara, a passionate interdisciplinary artist from Mexico City, now based in Vancouver, BC. I hold a Bachelor’s in Communications from Universidad del Valle de Mexico, a Diploma in Contemporary Dance and Scene Production from the Centro de Danza y Producción Escénica de Baja California, and an Associate of Arts degree from University Canada West.

​

In 2013, I had the incredible opportunity to study as an exchange student at Santa Fe University of Art and Design, where I delved into photography, film, and performing arts. This experience allowed me to blend my two greatest passions: movement and visual storytelling.

​

Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with talented artists, choreographers, and companies, working as both a dancer/choreographer and a photographer/videographer. Being a part of the performing arts world has given me a unique perspective, enabling me to capture the essence of artistic processes, scene productions, workshops, and live performances.

​

With over eight years of teaching experience, I love directing and creating a safe, welcoming space where everyone can shine and show their full potential. My professional journey spans capturing everything from artistic events and creative photoshoots to branding, family moments, and couples. I believe that versatility fuels creativity, helping to produce content that stands out.

I bring my full heart into every project, resonating with the energy and stories of those I capture. Whether it's dance, theater, or any form of performance, I connect deeply with the artists, feeling their rhythm, breath, and movement as if I’m on stage with them.

​

I’d love to connect, hear your story, and create something meaningful together. At the core, I’m a dancer, photographer, videographer, and choreographer—but what excites me most is blending these disciplines to make art that moves people.
