My abuela danced palo in the hills of the Dominican Republic.

As MOR (Mónica Ortiz Rossi), I create work rooted in Quisqueya, the island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti, and shaped by Afro-Dominican, Afro-Haitian, and wider African diasporic music and movement.

​

With SANCTUARIO, I create live music and movement performances. Through MOR Studio, I offer classes and workshops that invite people into embodied practice and connection through rhythm.
