Announcing: Leadership Model Changes to Co-Artistic Directors

Help us extend a warm welcome to Lizzy Guerra, joining staff as Co-Artistic Director.

Elizabeth is a theatre artist and actor born in Cuba and raised in Miami, Florida. She has a degree in theatre from Florida State University with focuses in performance, writing, and directing as well as a minor in Spanish literature. She has been acting and performing from a very young age and quickly found her home on stage and studying theatre at Florida State introduced her to a love of devising and creating art from scratch. As a storyteller and activist, her goal is to tell important stories that don't just explore the narratives of underrepresented individuals and social issues, but bring light to the powerful and vulnerable stories of strong women.

Get to know Lizzy:

What excites you about this role with The Kaleidoscapes?

This position is so exciting because it's truly a unique chance to connect art and earth. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to explore and learn from like minded artists who trust in the power theatre has to promote environmental justice. 

What’s your “place of significance” or an ecosystem that speaks to you and has formed you as a person?

I was born on a small beach called Baracoa in Cuba, since I could walk my grandmother would take me snorkeling every day. Some of my earliest memories are of floating underwater exploring everything the ocean had to offer. This experience completely formed me into who I am, appreciating how truly small and insignificant we are.

Why are you passionate about art for social change, directing and theatre?

Theatre and acting have been my glue for my entire life, and now I hope to continue to share its powers with audiences everywhere as a director. Art has the potential to change minds, to heal, and to evoke true emotion. Theatre, at its core, is a reminder of what it means to be human.  ​
