In the past, I have worked as a journalist, specializing in Latin America-related politics and film, and as a paralegal in the arts; and, for the past six years I have served as a dramaturge and performer with a 30-year-old experimental-theatre company, where I am now a senior member, often leading training sessions and assisting in leading workshops.
