About Marina

I am a half-Puerto Rican kid raised in the Rio Grande Valley. Growing up between cultures, identities, and lands has deeply influenced the art I support and create. I am a bilingual and multidisciplinary performer who works across film, theatre, and puppetry.  Much of my career has been dedicated to developing new work that reflects who and where I come from.

Recent credits include People, Places & Things (Emma), Roe (Sarah Weddington), Red Velvet (Halina/Betty/Margaret), and The Book of Will (Elizabeth Condell)  at Swine Palace. Some Austin credits I am most proud of are Casta by Adrienne Dawes, Yamel Cucuy with Glass Half Full Theatre,  and American Blood Song with Trouble Puppet Theater Co. Additionally, I have created two original solo puppet shows: Vulva Pope: Our Lady of the Sacred Part and You Never Know When You're Gonna Need It.
