Georgina Hernández Escobar is a Mexican playwright and maker of sci-femme narratives, ultra-humanistic mythos, frontera-funk stories, and Latinx futurity that run current systems of thinking through different filters of all-immersive visual, musical, narrative, and interpretative experiences. She works textually and visually with plasticity, mobility, harmony, and the Latin American perspective in drama. She is a MacDowell Fellow, a Djerassi Resident, Fornés Writing Workshop participant, and the recipient of the Kennedy Center Darrell Ayers Playwriting Award (2011) and the Outstanding Service to Women on the Border award (2004). Her work has been featured in the Kilroys List, The Texas Review, Los Bárbaros, McSweeney’s Anthology, and New Passport Press. Her plays have been produced across the USA and internationally in Mexico, Denmark, and Sweden. Artistic homes and presenters include INTAR, New York Children’s Theatre, Project Y, Clubbed Thumb, Lincoln Center, Bushwick Starr (NY), Two Rivers (NJ), Milagro (PDX), Aurora Theatre (GA), and the University of Texas at El Paso. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Practice at UTEP. georginaescobar.com
