Journey Through London: 21 Shows in 10 Days

This is for sure A Theatre Lover’s Journey  Over the past 10 days, I had the opportunity to see 21 shows in London—an experience that has left me utterly inspired and reaffirmed my passion for theatre. I still can't quite believe I managed to catch so many performances in such a short time! This reminds me of my time at the  Festival de Otoño  in Spain, where I also had a similar immersive art experience, or my time in Oregon recently. There's something about these moments that allow me to recharge, creatively and spiritually. As I reflect on this whirlwind theatre adventure, I can't help but chuckle at how many people ask me, "Why so many shows?" It’s funny, but my answer is always the same: Theatre is life. it's my craft, my profession nd my PASSION! It's also a way to refocus, connect with purpose, and yes, indulge in great meals and magical moments with like-minded friends. From laughter that left me in tears to moments of profound emotional depth, Lon...

Creating Space for Art and Connection

-

Do You Have a Space for Art That Transforms? There is a profound need for our voices, our stories, and our shared experiences to be heard—especially now, when the call for unity and understanding is stronger than ever. I stand for creating spaces where art and human connection intersect to inspire, empower, and transform. So I ask:  Do you have a space for me, for US? I mean it. Through every project, my goal is to share authentic stories that celebrate the richness of my Latin heritage and roots, and to honor the important power of art. Art can elevate, it can unite, it can bring us together in ways that truly matter. If you know of a theater space or need an Artistic Director ready to bring a battalion of artists to share their voices, I am ready—and so is my community. With each moment, I am reminded of the beauty and power of our voices, our cultural fusions, and the magic that happens when dance, theater, and storytelling come together with purpose. I see art as a path that co...
