My Story

Hey! I’m Laura (pronounced /ˈlau̯ɾa/), a queer Colombian-Lebanese theater, voice over, and teaching artist, crafter and maker living in Brooklyn. As a performer, I’ve worked in different genres, from musical theater to experimental and performance art. In Colombia, I was part of MISI Producciones, Latin America’s leading musical theater company. NY credits include works with Ensemble Studio Theater, INTAR, IATI, Working Theater, LaMicro Theater, among others. I’ve voiced several industrial videos and campaigns, as well as many cartoons and children’s tv shows, including Little Robots and Sesame Street, both for Latin American audiences. I work as a teaching artist in residencies in Queens and North Brooklyn public schools, as well as various dance and theater programs, and have been part of Lincoln Center Education’s Teaching Artist Summer Forums. When not performing or teaching, you’ll probably see me hyper-fixating on a new crafting technique, or starting to read a new book while my half read pile stares at me like “aja, Laura, wtf?!?”

Sexual Orientation
iSexual orientation describes a person's enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional attraction to another person.

Queer

Gender Identity
iOne’s internal, deeply held sense of gender. Some people identify completely with the gender they were assigned at birth (usually male or female), while others may identify with only a part of that gender, or not at all. Some people identify with another gender entirely. Unlike gender expression, gender identity is not visible to others.

Non-binary

Race/Ethnicity
iRacial identity is the qualitative meaning one ascribes to one’s racial group, whereas ethnic identity is a concept that refers to one’s sense of self as a member of an ethnic group. At their core, both constructs reflect an individual’s sense of self as a member of a group; however, racial identity integrates the impact of race and related factors, while ethnic identity is focused on ethnic and cultural factors. We celebrate our Keys’ intersectionality and understand that creating one’s racial/ethnic identity is a fluid and nonlinear process that varies for every person. Many folks will identify with more than one background while others will identify with a single group more broadly.
