Mark Diaz

I am direct theatre of cultural collision engaging expressively, with fully embodied performances and realized text.

I will support stories that navigate worlds, ideas, identities and questions of belonging for charats who live between worlds into our future.

I bring passion, observational analsysis, senstitvity, clarity, and intercultural communication into every project.

I am an international artist, working across global theatrical and cultural contexts, now in London.
