We are excited to announce the newest addition to the HowlRound team, Jax Gil! Jax joins us this month as our new Communications Manager. As Communications Manager, Jax will create and implement communications strategies to advance awareness and the impact of our work to amplify progressive, disruptive ideas about theatre and connect theatremakers worldwide.

Jax (they/she) is a queer, Latinx silo-breaker, facilitator, and lover of transformative organizational development. Their driving purpose is to harness the power of collective consciousness for radical social change. They believe all change begins in the body, manifests relationally and happens in the present.

Jax is the founder of Liberatory Theatre Project, a platform that offers workshops, group facilitation, and community round tables at the intersection of art, healing, and the solidarity economy. Jax is also a proud member of Mijente in Boston, a political home for Boston-area Latinxs who are pro-Black, pro-Queer, pro-mujer and working towards a decolonized world with dignity for all. Most recently, Jax was co-director at Resist, a foundation that redistributes resources to frontline communities at the forefront of change.

Jax has a BA in Peace and Justice Studies with a focus in Creativity, the Arts, and Social Transformation from Brandeis University.

Please join us in welcoming Jax!
