Sofí is a choreographer and dancer who was raised in the flamenco tradition. She began dancing flamenco as a child, at the Academy of Spanish Dance, and draws from her roots in this form of movement as inspiration for her art. In 2014, Gudiño founded the Inamorata Dance Collective, a collaboration-based dance group with a strong focus on innovating flamenco arts for the contemporary stage. They have worked with over thirty artists in their four years as a collective, experimenting in flamenco’s intersections with film, technology, spoken word, opera, contemporary dance and theatre. From 2014 to 2016, Gudiño premiered a series of fifteen minute works at Too Queer: a Bisexual Visibility Cabaret, with a rotating cast of collaborators. In 2017, Inamorata premiered their full length work, Picaza, at the Toronto Fringe Festival, garnering an award nomination for Outstanding Contemporary Dance. Over the years, Gudiño has worked with the mentorship of Peggy Baker, Christopher House, Katherine Duncanson, Ame Henderson, and many others. Apart from her work with Inamorata, Gudiño has collaborated on flamenco fusion works extensively in both the commercial and fine art sectors. These collaborations have premiered at Nuit Blanche, World Pride, the New Blue Dance Festival, Nuit Rose and Next Stage Dance Festival.
