Description: Taking stories from the personal to the dramatic with Jewtina y Co., a Jewish and Latin organization on a mission to nurture the Latin-Jewish community. Together we will celebrate the Latin Jewish Theatre community and the art of storytelling. Attendees will be given an opportunity to workshop personal, cultural and historical stories of identity as well as learn from a Panel of Artistic Leaders at the intersection of Jewish and Latinx. The first hour will be a panel with Jewish Latinx Leaders in the community about their dreams, hopes, and experiences as artists. The last 30 minutes will include a writing exercise about how to take the personal from your life and turn it into something monumental. This event is for all conference attendees and not exclusive to those who are Latinx Jewish artists. EVENT 4A
