She’s currently working as Lead Artist and Production Manager at Shadowland Theatre with the support of the Studio Lab Theatre Foundation and is a theater facilitator for kids at Community Arts Guild. Cindy has a Bachelor of Sciences and Techniques in Communication from Mexico and graduated in 2022 from the Advanced Diploma in Theatre Arts and Performance at Centennial College with the Dean’s Award of Academic Excellence.
She came to Canada with the dream of expanding her creativity in a richer arts industry with the support of the International Scholarship for High Performance Creators by Fundación Pablo García 2019-2022 and has worked in companies such as Outside the March, Jumblies and The Coal Mine. Last year, as part of the Indigenous Arts Program at Paprika, Cindy wrote her first one-person show “My Name”, which explored the themes of war and reconciliation between her Maya and Spanish ancestors. She believes in the power art holds to bring people together and is passionate about spaces for community through art. Her work studies indigenous wisdom, connection, energy, nature, consciousness, and seeks to share the value of Unity with the world.
