Marisa & Maribel Plasencia, twins born in Laredo, Texas, are interested in using performance to investigate identity, language, and emotions that occur in daily, routine experiences. As twins, they use choreography to explore the permeability of corporeal boundaries. Their work is also heavily influenced by the fact that their academic paths have led them to spend a significant amount of time apart on the east and west coasts.

Marisa & Maribel attended Trinity University as first-generation college students. Marisa holds a PhD in Theater, Dance, & Performance Studies from UC Santa Barbara. Maribel received a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Rutgers University.

Marisa & Maribel draw upon interdisciplinary studies to create work that remains informed and open to ideas from a variety of fields. This page is intended to construct a visual scrapbook of their work, motivate them to create more, and map the evolution of their process over time.
