Actually Raquel is currently working on the following projects:
Dancing for an Ocean Free of Plastic Pollution
Dancing for an Ocean Free of Plastics is a performance dance that raises awareness around plastic pollution and its terrible effects on our bodies and oceans.
This performance goes side by side the environmental activist Manuel Maqueda, founder of El Plástico Mata and Kumu, co-founder of Plastic Pollution Coalition, and a founding member of Midway Film led by Chris Jordan, in his talks about plastic pollution around the world.
Inviting Silence Amidst Chaos
Inviting Silence amidst Chaos is an Alchemy Spinning™ dance performance series from different cities around the world. Raquel uses the power of Alchemy Spinning to create a space of silence and presence in the midst of chaos of the cities.
These videos were filmed in Barcelona, Seattle and San Francisco.
