Tijuana (Baja California, Mexico)
With "Taller itinerante de teatro infantile" Tijuana-based artist Ugo Palavicinio created a traveling youth theatre that bought workshops and performances to communities throughout Tijuana. Converting a large truck into a stage replete with all the needed accoutrements, the project was specifically designed to be mobile in order to reach children living in different areas of the city and to engage their participation in the art of theatrical performance. The mobile theatre truck worked in collaboration with area libraries where weeklong workshops were coordinated with groups of children, culminating in staged finished pieces performed to an audience of their community. The pieces presented as part of the project arose out of suggestions, preferences, and opinions of the participating children and included themes such as environmental preservation, family and social violence, and neighborhood anecdotes. --inSITE2000
