Ana María and I talk about kicking Neil LaBute out of the Canon *SPOILERS* he's got to go. I know, you're all shocked. We talk about AWESOME Latinx Playwrights and theatre makers that deserve more recognition and about major systemic change that needs to happen in the theatre community and in our country. Just another AMAZING Conversation at The Next Canon Podcast!
Ana María Campoy (she/her/hers)
Ana María Campoy is a Mexican-American theatre artist, educator, and advocate. She moved to Seattle in fall 2010 to participate in Seattle Repertory Theatre's Professional Arts Training Program and was part of TAT Lab's inaugural class in 2011-2012. In addition to Seattle Rep, she has taught for the Pacific Northwest Ballet, Arts Impact, Book-It Repertory Theatre, Seattle Children's Theatre, and Village Theatre. For the last five years, she has worked as an arts teaching mentor in Arts Impact's Voices from the Fields program; working with public schools in migrant districts throughout Washington state. As an actor, director, adaptor, or dramaturg, she has worked for OSF, Seattle Children's Theatre, Book-It Repertory Theatre, Washington Ensemble Theatre, Seattle Shakespeare Company, and Pork Filled Productions. One of her most cherished acting roles includes Catherine in a bilingual adaptation of David Auburn's Proof, which she also produced and translated alongside director Arlene Martínez-Vásquez, and is now under consideration for publication. She has toured nationally in Living Voices's solo show, La Causa. She is a passionate and proud advocate of the performing arts, believing that performance provides communities a voice and individuals self-exploration. At the center of her work lives the driving desire to create opportunities for artists of color, to remove economic and geographical barriers for audiences and students, and to expand and deepen our American identity. Her current projects include organizing and running the all-volunteer mutual aid collective, WashMasks, which works to provide PPE support and advocacy for migrant and seasonal farm workers and their families during this current pandemic.
