Artist-in-Residence: Pedra Pepa

Rosy Simas Danse welcomes Pedra Pepa as our next artist in residence in the three thirty one space.

Pedro Pablo is a Caracas born, Minneapolis based queer performance maker. They are the founder/director of Viva la Pepa, generating collective, unapologetic performances crossing multiple mediums; sourcing from the overlapping values of Latinx and Queer cultures: passion, melodrama, decadence & sensuality. An inaugural Jerome Hill Artist Fellow, Pedro is a teaching artist with the Pillsbury House Theatre and Upstream Arts. They are on an ongoing transnational collaboration with Argentinian choreographer Celia Argüello. Their most current research in the US, Contained, Alive has taken many shapes over the past year and will be performed next July 2021. During the day, Pedro co-creates children and family theater programming, and at night Pedro entertains adults as their draglesque persona Doña Pepa.
