Kultivating Kapwa: Conversations with Community, Episode 12
"Teaching Through Creative Justice and the Role of Arts Education in Liberation"
In this episode, we are joined by Renee Floresca. We discuss the use of theatre as an examination of life and inquiry of self, how she turned to books and plays when in search of a mentor, being a veteran teacher and the changes in her approach over the years, being an accidental student with multiple degrees, and more.
She was Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area — namely Hercules, on Ohlone land. She moved to New York City in 2008, and has been on Lenape land since then, coming on 12 years. Her nanay is from Manila and her tatay is from Naguilian, La Union.
