Lorena Peña     (from Peru / America)

As an Artist I investigate, explore and create performance pieces within the topics of gender, identity and body politics; I use as a source for my projects an autobiographical approach. My exploration travels through the limits between Physical Theatre, Live Art, Body Art, Interactive and Multimedia Art. My experience as performer starts in 2002, but I have been creating Live Art projects since 2009 >> www.lorenalopena.com

I have over 10 years experience in Management and Creative Production . Since 2007 I co-manage and direct Cultural Asociation elgalpon.espacio - a center for research, creation and dissemination of multi - disciplinary artistic projects , located in Pueblo Libre , Lima, Peru . My experience as a producer in Peru includes the production of various theater festivals and contemporary art events. We have worked with renowned cultural organizations in Lima, such as, Cultural Group Yuyachkani , CCPUCP, British-Peruvian Cultural Center, University of the Pacific, Municipalidad Metropolitana de Lima, Ministry of Culture, The Spanish Cultural Center, among others.

I lived in London from September 2010 to January 2014, where I studied two Masters in Art, while holding various professional practices as part of my training as a Creative Producer. The organizations for which I worked include Chelsea Theatre , New Work Network, The Relationship, Bill Aitchison Company, motiroti , Sabotage Theatre Company, ]performance space[, etc. .
