About the teacher:
@NoelleDominiqueRodriguez is a vibrant, expressive, playful Xicana and Indigenous artist whose curiosity knows no bounds. Obsessed with clowning, commedia dell'arte, and wordplay, she channels her passion for performance into revitalizing language and culture through dynamic exploration. Drawing inspiration from her East LA roots and ancestral homelands in Mexico and the USA, Noelle is on a continuous journey of learning her native languages and understanding decolonization of herself through theater.
Her transformative work has taken her to London, where she led a powerful Theater of the Oppressed workshop for young women of color, diving deep into identity, intersectionality, and collective hope. She now teaches Voice and Movement at Pepperdine University. Noelle earned her MFA in Linklater Teaching Practice from Rose Bruford College and is a Designated Linklater Teacher (DLT). She helps actors connect with their bodies, voices, and emotions. Noelle knows theater's transformative power, and is dedicated to creating brave, supportive spaces where individuals can explore their identities, express themselves, and connect with their cultural heritage.
