garnica leimay

Garnica LEIMAY is an interdisciplinary company-project and laboratory of performance founded in 2005 by Ximena Garnica in Brooklyn, New York. LEIMAY synthesizes–through the body, and other visual and performing arts – performance experiences designed to sharpen the senses both for the artists who engage in the creative process and for the audience who relates to the performances.
Transformation is approached as an aesthetic; in that sense, the body–at times dancer, actor or object– and the space -at times body, environment or object are fundamental to LEIMAY’s work. Experiences are explored as a process of constantly becoming.
