José Navas began his training at the Taller de Danza in Caracas before moving to New York and studying at the Merce Cunningham Studio.
In 2008, after seven years creating group pieces, the choreographer returned to his passion for the solo form by presenting Miniatures, warmly welcomed by press and the audience.
Since that time, he has performed essentially as a solo artist, exploiting his maturity's resources and creating more personal, sensitive works with transcendent musicality.
With a beautiful visual aesthetic, group creations such as Portable Dances, Anatomies, S and Diptych reflect his architectural sense of composition, while solos such as Miniatures, Personae, and the Rite of Spring bring visceral emotions.
An Associate Dance Artist of the National Arts Centre, José Navas has presented his work in 30 countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia.
