Whether the weather was wetter or the winds were wild, he kept moving forward. From Hollywood High School to EDGE Performing Arts Center, Moro Landis, and Media Dance Arts Center, he walked a winding road in a world where dancing “wasn’t really for boys.” But with every workshop, every wall he broke through, and every whisper telling him otherwise—he won. Awarded the EDGE Scholarship and welcomed into Hysterica Dance Company, Marlon wandered into worlds larger than he ever imagined. From dancing in Mary Poppins Returns to performing with Nicki Minaj at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, lip sync battle with Emily Blunt, and wiggling with Cher on Oprah, each moment widened his understanding of movement, wonder, and what it means to truly connect. Wandering through the world—from the Bahamas to London, across Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America—he witnessed history, warmth, wisdom, and the way movement speaks beyond words. Through aerial dance, guided by wise mentors, he discovered another way to fly: weightless, wild, and woven with strength and grace. Today, Marlon moves like wind over water—sharing invisible energy with whoever is willing to witness it. Whether through waves of laughter, wonder, or stillness, his work reminds people that dance is more than movement.It is freedom and worldliness. It is waking up to the wonder within. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56dc9fe92fe1312eff2ba193/c8f0177b-2ca9-479f-ab05-8e18d90ebccc/Miguel_Perez_Headshot.jpg Home - Make it stand out Miguel Pérez was born in San Jose CA.

His work spans acting, writing, directing, photography, and collage and at the heart of it all is storytelling that bridges the deeply personal with the mythic, the tactile with the poetic. Oscar earned my BFA from California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), where he was immersed in experimental performance and collaborative creation. His writing often moves through themes of loss, triumph, nature, group dynamics, mythology, and religion.
