Departure

Tomorrow at 5:30AM I leave for Medellin, Colombia to teach Theatre for three months. I've started this blog as a way of sharing and documenting my experience there.

I'll be working for an organization called el Centro Colombo Americano, teaching at three different schools in Medellin: La Institucion Educativa Santa Elena, La Institucion Educativa Maria de los Angeles Cano Marquez, y El Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola. I will organize a short performance from each school for the festival 'Arte y Escuela' on October 29th con el proyecto 'Desearte Paz.' In addition, there will be a number of other workshops and short performances I will give, but 'Arte y Escuela' will be my primary project there.

I'm about to enter a world unknown to me. Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
