After working as a dancer and performer with various choreographers in Europe in the nineties, she began to develop her choreographic work in 2001.

Cuqui Jerez describes her work as a tool to understanding the performative act. While her work entails many techniques from performance to text and even fireworks, she considers all of her practices as choreographies. She is obsessed with creating new realities and new languages through space, time, objects and bodies. According to Jerez she is focused on constructing in space, but she cannot separate space from time.
Her main activity is the creation, but she also participates in various research, curatorial, publishing and teaching projects.
