Out of the Rehearsal Hall - Geva Theater Podcast

Fran Da Silveira and Jenni Werner talk with fight and intimacy director Rocío Mendez. The conversation starts with an acknowledgment of the moment the U.S. is in as a country, after the deaths of George Floyd, Tony McDade, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and more, and what some of our responsibilities in this moment might be. The conversation explores Rocío's inspiration to enter a field that is dominated by white men (and her success at doing so!), her work on last year's production of The Royale by Marco Ramirez (a Kitchen Theatre production presented at Geva), the importance of intimacy choreography, and the brilliance and confidence of RuPaul's Drag Race.
