  • Description

    Description

    I'm an independent theater director and an art advocate. Currently, Our Theater group is putting together a workshop on Commedia dell'Arte and physical theater. There is a teacher coming from France in July, 2022, so we want to go thought the basics with the participants to take advantage of his teachings. Also, we are working on a curatorial project for an online art appraisal platform. We are a non-for profit theater group.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are a multicultural group, American, Mexican, Polish, Peruvian, etc. Our projects are passion projects, so we have plenty of room to be creative. Due to covid we had to close our theater studio, but we keep the spirit and the practice of bringing projects to completion. Always interesting and fun, we focus on visual and performing arts, but support every art and artist as much as possible.
