RememberingPULSE:
Ernesto Sopprani- Panel Moderator for Friday's Post-show discussion featuring Queer/Trans Latinx Choreographers. 
Ernesto Sopprani coordinates location-specific and primarily community-based performance projects. Whether as an artist or as an arch-collaborator, his work is geared towards investigating innovative and self-sustainable models of presenting art and performance. As of late much of his work involves what he calls Arts and Culture Activism, from foresight strategic planning to policy drafting to cultural event’s staging and implementation, he believes we are all involved, either actively or not, in the creation of the next cultural renaissance.
As founder Director of THEOFFCENTER Ernesto has overseen the production, curation and execution of dozens of site-specific, research-based art interventions, large scale performance festivals, multiple performer-centered art programs both at presenting houses (YBCA, Mission Cultural Center, Mission Dance, The Magic Theatre, SOMArts and others) as well as public spaces (BART trains, city streets, and a privately owned boxing ring). Additionally, he is director of AIRSpace, SF oldest queer performance incubator. AIRspace is a performing arts residency that supports the creation of new experimental theatre, contemporary dance, spoken word and multidisciplinary performance by providing free rehearsal and performance space as well as critical feedback and artistic development opportunities for emerging LGBTQ artists in the Bay Area. He is also part of the advisory board for Emerging Arts Professionals, a network of art and culture workers in the bay Area, as well as a stewart advisor for the SF arts advocacy network “Arts for a Better Bay Area” or ABBA for short. Ernesto is a currently a fellow at YBCA Creative Ecosystem. |
