Room for Growth: The Erasure of Queer Latina Representation and Visibility in Theatre and Media

This senior project in Theatre & Performance involved performing the role of Celina in Olivia Rose Perrone's debut play Room for Growth, with the aim of exploring and portraying the intersections of queerness, generational trauma, and the experience of being Latiné on stage, using the acting methods of Uta Hagen and Stella Adler. This work was complemented by research into the erasure of queer Latina representation and visibility in theatre and media, with a comparative analysis into three mainstream pieces of media including, but not limited to: Marvel superhero America Chavez, Disney's Encanto, and the 2021 film adaptation of In The Heights.
