TEATRO VISIÓN SEEKS TEACHING ARTIST
Teatro Visión is looking for a bilingual (Spanish and English) teaching artist for our two-week winter Intensive Teatro classes for youth. The ideal candidate will bring a passion for working with youth to develop their performance skills through explorations of their own experiences, perspectives, and hopes.
About the class: Our youth classes identify and train new "teatristas" — skilled artists dedicated to culture-based, bilingual theater. This innovative training program inspires students ages 10-17 to find their voice, building the self-confidence and initiative to take on leadership roles in their community. The Intensive Teatro Class prepares the students to audition and perform in the upcoming Spring Youth Production: When She Had Wings by Suzan Zeder.
About the company: Teatro Visión creates theater rooted in Chicanx and Latinx experiences to inspire the people of Santa Clara Valley and beyond to feel, think, and act to create a better world.. Our work amplifies the voices of Latinxs, creates a dignified and empowering sense of identity, inspires action, builds respect and understanding, and explores the social and psychological experiences of Latinxs.
