UW School of Drama Mythology Project Solo Performance

In quarter one of the Professional Actor Training Program (PATP) at UW, we were given a mythology project assignment by our voice professor. I was like, what kind of story do I want to tell? I knew I wanted to do something with indigenous roots. Honestly, what sparked inspiration were a pair of Quetzalcoatl earrings I got from Ana Marina Studio and the play Espíritu Natural which I performed in last year at Su Teatro. I decided to tell the story of the 5 Suns which included both inspiration from Aztec and Mayan mythologies. This project is one that I hope to expand on in the future but was such a lovely experience to share with my cohort and UW professors and students.
