Tatiana Rodriguez is an interdisciplinary scholar, writer, and theatre practitioner based in Western, MA. She received three bachelor’s degrees in Theater, English, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. As an artistic scholar, Tatiana’s research centers on Black feminist and womanist theatre methodologies during the Civil Rights era, as well as in the Black Power and Black Arts Movement. More specifically, her research seeks to examine how Black feminist/womanist theatre praxes served as sites for collective storytelling, survival, resistance, and healing. Additional areas of interest that ground and inspire her research include cultural ethnography, auto-ethnography, art-based pedagogy, and community-based participatory action research (CBPR).
