With support from the California Arts Council, El Teatro de la Tierra will continue to create new work in music and theater through collaborations between Artist/Instructors and emerging artists; together they will use their skills and talent as weapons in the fight for equity and social justice.
Using Latin American & American Folklore we train participants of all backgrounds and ages in the basic fundamentals of music and drama to the point where she or he can execute a song or a dramatic interlude with sufficient skill to perform. Open to beginners, intermediate, and advanced participants, all programming is accessible to disabled persons. Music: intermediate and advanced participants form the intergenerational ensemble Generaciones; Generaciones performs throughout the community for a variety of organizations, cultural events, and concerts. Theater participants study and put together shows by Teatro Inmigrante – Immigrant Theater and its director Agustin Lira, through year-long projects that culminate in public performances.
