RECENT PROJECTS.
SUMMER 2020.
Overcoming the challenges of social distancing in COVID-19 times, Paso Nuevo students worked mostly online to create Creatividad Latinx, a series of podcasts in Spanish.
In the first season of Creatividad Latinx, Paso Nuevo students provide stark and refreshingly candid portraits of their lives, cultures, families, cultures, and migration to the U.S. El Violinista Maldito (The Cursed Violinist), an original play is presented in segments throughout the season.
