Giovanni Ortega

Giovanni Ortega (SDC, AEA, SAG-AFTRA) has been working professionally for over a decade as professor, an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion speaker, a proponent of the performing arts & a cultural navigator. He believes in creating an accepting and inclusive relationship with communities and student populations 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 and facilitator 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, a professor for AMDA College of the Performing Arts as well as Art of Acting Studio in Los Angeles and was recently the Keynote Speaker for the Southeast Asian Conference (SEACON) held at UCLA.
This class is a venture for the artist to discover & experience full expression by integrating writing, storytelling, and performance, as well as various theatrical pedagogy-based solo performance methodologies. Students will be lead in a bi-weekly process generating dramatic theory, thematic writing, script self-analysis-to-performance of solo works.
