Synopsis: Rosa Luisa Márquez (www.marquezmartorell.org) is a Puerto Rican theater artist and pedagogue; she specializes in contemporary
theater. Rosa Luisa started her teaching career at the theater department of the University of Puerto Rico in 1978. She developed
the current curriculum of Drama Activities, which she teaches in her workshops at schools, prisons, rehab centers, women's
shelters and community centers. Her directing projects include 'Romeo(s) y Julieta(s),' 'Historias para ser Contadas,' 'La
Leyenda del Cemí,' 'Procesión,' 'Waiting for Godot,' 'Jardín de Pulpos,' 'Absurdos en Soledad,' 'El León y la Joya,' among
others. Published books include 'Brincos y saltos: el juego como disciplina teatral' and 'Historias para ser contadas, montaje
de Rosa Luisa Márquez.' She is a member of the board of directors and pedagogical team for the EITALC's International School
of Latin American and Caribbean Theater. Ongoing artistic collaborators include Gilda Navarra and Antonio Martorell (Puerto
Rico), Grupo Malayerba (Ecuador), Grupo Yuyachkani (Peru), and directors Peter Shumann (Bread & Puppet Theater, U.S.A.) and
Augusto Boal (Theater of the Oppressed, Brazil). In conjunction with visual artist Antonio Martorell, she created the concept
of 'Teatreros Ambulantes' (Itinerant Performers, 1987-1990), resulting in twelve productions. 'Gente o Agente' is one of these
projects. Directed by Puerto Rican experimental dance choreographer Viveca Vázquez, the piece is an exploration of the possible
performance interactions with the 'Laberinto Eslabonado,' an environmental sculpture created by Martorell at the University
of Puerto Rico, Cayey Campus. With the labyrinth as creative provocation, the performers explore expressive relationships
between bodies, everyday objects, text and space. This piece is an example of the collaboration between Márquez, Martorell,
the Teatreros Ambulantes, and local and international guest artists.
