Dalel Bacre is a multi-faceted performance artist, movement director- and character coach, originally from Mexico and based in Los Angeles, Ca.

​

Working throughout performing arts, fashion, film, advertising and theatre, Dalel uses body movement, human and animal behaviours, and interpretations of physical psychology to push the boundaries of acting and concepts of movement.

​

Dalel works in the broadest applications of movement in film, video games, tv series, advertising and fashion, but notably as a one-on-one movement coach and choreographer, helping to build a specific character or guiding a creative process on how to be and move during a scene, photo shoot or runway. 

​

Recognised for her extensive career in the performing arts, Dalel always challenges the aesthetics and traditional beauty of movement. Her physical lab, “Body Connect”, was developed to define her own body language of movement.

​

She started working as a movement director in 2017 but her professional career began in  1999 in Mexico, where she worked with different national and international choreographers and directors. Since then she has danced and collaborated on different international projects, which has given Dalel an extensive experience and insight into the performing arts and an understanding of the body from different perspectives,

Dalel is an active performance artist.

​

Her studies eventually graduated to taking master classes focused in theatre and contemporary art. Dalel continues to advance her processes through the practice of Kung Fu and more recently Aikido. These last two have been a powerful tool that has helped her to understand and observe the body from another perspective, offering her different ways of thinking through the body and enriching her own body language.

 

In 2013 she founded arteNÓMADA which is currently collaborating with filmmaker Christian Weber (US), Dr. Alderete (ARG), Greg Harris (NZ), Maria Gordillo (SP), Amplio Espectro (MX), Arturo Lugo (MX), Monika Gintersdorfer (DE), and others.
