A PERFORMER
I have been performing for as long as I can remember - my family’s library of home videos is literally just footage of me singing and hamming it up for the camera. As I’ve learned and grown, I’ve found that what really entices me about performance is storytelling, and the ability we humans have to explore and analyze our own experience, be it through words, dance, movement, or music. As of late, I’ve been fascinated with the exploration of relationships and how we connect to the people we encounter in our lives. I still have a lot to learn, but right now, this is the curiosity that keeps me coming back to the stage.
A PROUD COLOMBIAN-AMERICAN
My parents came to this country from Bogota in the 1990s, their hearts set on living the American Dream. I grew up learning two languages - two cultures - walking the fine line between fitting into the world around me and remembering where I came from. As such, I have a profound respect for immigrant stories, specifically stories of Latine families working through generational trauma as they, too, struggle to assimilate.
