On this episode, we are joined by Patricia Masera, talking about her work both onstage and backstage. Patricia Masera was born in Paraguay. In 1997 she co-founded the Aerial Theatre Group Nhi-Mu (www.nhimu.com) a ground-breaking theatre alternative for the Paraguayan scene. She was awarded with the B’nai Brith award for excellence in Theatre in 2006; that same year she was also awarded with a Fulbright Scholarship to North Carolina School of the Arts, where she obtained her MFA in Performing Arts Management. After graduating in 2009, she worked both in Asuncion, Py and New York, US, establishing residency in the latter in 2012. Since then, she has been working as an Associate to Fred Gallo, technical director for several Broadway Musicals and president of PRG Scenic Technologies. Her most recent projects include, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, NYC and San Francisco, King Kong, Live on Broadway, Phantom of the Opera, Asia Tour, MJ, the Micheal Jackson musical and Funny Girl. In Addition to the technical and physical aspects of a production, Patricia has continued to explore theater and its creative aspects producing, directing, and doing site specific work. After working on the Women Residency project Kaos, mujeres en residencia in Paraguay in 2021, Patricia and Nhi-Mu are celebrating the company’s 25th anniversary working on a performance piece as artists in residence of the Oklahoma International Dance Festival in July of 2022.
