Education As Liberation: Time Capsule Season 2: Episode 25
About our Podcast Series:
WHBLE founder, award-winning writer, director and applied theatre educator, Ah-Keisha McCans, hosts conversations with educators, school leaders, parents, and students to discuss the state of education, and systemic problems facing youth in schools.
Education as Liberation Podcast season two’s theme is Time Capsule. Featuring interviews spanning the summer of 2020 until Fall of 2021, we reflect on education yester-year-today-future. How much has changed since the pandemic started? How much remains the same? Is education on the path towards liberation or must a new system be built up?
About Our Guest
Priscilla Flores is a Queer, Latinx, New Yorker, actor / writer / director / educator / awakener.
As an "art-vist," I am passionate about community action, marginalized populations, and using performance art to explore social issues, connect bridges, and build networks of healing and collective empowerment. With over 17 years of programmatic and administrative experience in the arts and education field, I am deeply committed to addressing youth and community development through an Applied Theatre approach. In my current position as Director of the College and Adult Program at the CUNY Creative Arts Team, I develop programming for student and adult populations across New York City that allow participants to explore social and academic issues, social and emotional learning, and help build sustainable life skills.
Each year, I work to develop and supervise a highly skilled team of teaching artists who provide interactive, participant-centered applied theater workshops and residencies for a diverse range of contracts and communities, serving approximately 10,000 participants annually.
