After a thorough review of submissions by our Panelistas, Jose Rochel (Teatro Inovarte) and Emily Masó (Colectivo El Pozo), we are thrilled to welcome Donovan Marquis Diaz, Sonja Lynn Mata, and Estefania Unzueta to CLATA’s first Latine Playwright Fellowship. Our panelistas were so impressed by the work they reviewed that CLATA has decided to open the fellowship to three semifinalists: Pedro Arturo Jimenez, Aileen Moreno, and Nelson A. Rodriguez will be developing their work alongside our fellows!
Over the next few months, our fellows and semifinalists will participate in a series of workshops, mentorship meetings with Dr. Rey Andújar, and check-ins led by both CLATA and the fellows themselves. Rooted in the principles of asesoramiento y acompañamiento—guidance and accompaniment—the program centers artistic process while fostering collaboration, exchange, and community.
