This page is dedicated to my work with Arizona State Unviersity's Performance in the Borderlands initiative.  From 2012 - Current, I have served as the producing director for Performance in the Borderlands, an initiative housed within the School of Film, Dance & Theatre at Arizona State University.

Performance in the Borderlands is a presenting, public programming and education initiative dedicated to the understanding and promotion of cultural performance in the borderlands. Our work posits the borderland as a conceptual landscape that embodies political and identity borders. The diversity of cultures, histories and artistic traditions in the borderlands inspires new ways of thinking about performance and art, which open new meanings for identity and social engagement.
We advocate for local, national, and international artists and fund performances, lectures, workshops and social engagements for community members and students. Key to our work is the curation of diverse representations of performance, which include theatre, dance, visual art and media. We cultivate “spaces of generosity” where artists, students, and community members come into critical proximity to experience, collaborate and talk about arts and politics in ways that foster intimacy and idea exchange.
