Jose's performance work is exemplary of genres fusing at channel surfing speed--where poetic prose collides with conceptual movement and theater crashes with the visual arts forming a cauldron of ritual and multiple voices in an underworld of sardonic humor and human tragedy channeled by an artist possessed by "Duende." In effect, his work is one long run on sentence across the academic terrain of theater/performance, the visual arts, literature/languages, politics, social studies and new art in the postmodern matrix.
 
His performance solos, lectures and workshops have been presented at institutions such as: Cornell, Duke, Tulane, Spelman, Dillard, Rutgers, Kalamazoo College, Louisiana State and the University of Michigan.
