Andrea Cabrera Luna (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland) is the artistic director of Anahat Theatre. She won a FONCA scholarship to read an MA in Performance and Culture at Goldsmiths College, University of London. She holds a BA in Acting from the National School of Performing Arts (ENAT) and a BA in English Literature from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
Andrea’s practice is inspired by the absurdities of everyday life. She facilitates workshops for actors and non-actors, adults and children interested in physicality, comedy, social criticism, play and improvisation. You can find Andrea’s poetry in Mixtape 2020 and 2021, two Writers of Colour Audio Anthologies curated by Hannah Lavery.
