developing narratives for Marginalized voices

Performing Arts, Community, Culture & Education (PACCE)

Giovanni Ortega (AEA, SAG-AFTRA, SDC) has been working professionally for over a decade as a proponent of the performing arts, a community organizer, cultural navigator and an educator. He believes in creating an accepting and inclusive relationship with artists and communities alike regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation and class. 

In the past few years, he's teamed up with several organizations around the world to observe how the arts and culture are used to inform different populations on how we can decimate discrimination and enhance acceptance. They engage, investigate and create stories that usually go untold but are relevant and important to share with everyone. 

As a multidisciplinary artist, a public speaker in over one-hundred-forty college campuses and an international collaborator, these experiences have given Giovanni the opportunity to see the variety and diversity of what our society has to offer. This is what he continuously instills with people he interacts with in communities, organizations and academia.  Giovanni is currently the Artistic Director for FilAm Arts Teatro and a professor for 

AMDA College of the Performing Arts as well as Art of Acting Studio in Los Angeles.

Sama Sama: Solidarity in the Fields

SAMA SAMA: SOLIDARITY IN THE FIELDS

by Giovanni Ortega

Sama Sama: Solidarity in the Fields is a story that utilizes the Balagtasan poetic debate form told through the lens of Tonantzin, Araw and Uriel, three high school students who are finding themselves and their cultural identity by learning about the “Manongs” and “Bracero Program”. It emphasizes the shared narratives of Mexican and Filipino culture and uses English, Spanish, and Tagalog to amplify this important piece of history.
