The Colectivo Justicia para mi hermana continues their weekly trainings in Guatemala City with support of the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala to bring various Modules to the participants.
They have covered the following topics:
MODULE 4: HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS
MODULE 5: NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION AND THEATER
MODULE 6: REWRITING POP CULTURE
MODULE 7: VIDEO PRODUCTION AND BREAKING THE SILENCE
MODULE 8: HEALING STRATEGIES FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS
MODULE 9: PUBLIC SPEAKING AND ADVOCACY
MODULE 10: WORKING WITH AUTHORITIES AND IMPLEMENTING LAWS
Participants have been in technical workshops since April. They've received trainings in feminist analysis of pop culture (Ana Silvia Monzón), script-writing (Camila Urrutia), project development (yours truly, Kimberly Bautista) and soon will have a directing workshop with Vanessa Ramos.
Just yesterday, the students presented pitches of their projects via Skype to a panel of judges. The judges included Ana Saldaña (Los Angeles-based producer, sound recordist, musician), Inés Nofuentes (Spanish producer) and Izrael Moreno (Mexican director and educator). The jury has selected their favorite pitches which will be produced in June and July, and presented in August! Stay tuned for updates on our social media!
In Los Angeles, we've found a home at Boyle Heights Arts Conservatory! We will be launching our Nuevas Novelas program in Boyle Heights in June 2016. Let us know if you have any friends or relatives who would like to partake!
