ABOUT LUIS' WORK
Luis Alfaro is a performance artist, playwright, and poet whose work dramatizes issues of identity and social power.

The ways in which cultural and social practices shape personal and group identities are central to Alfaro’s work.  Performance pieces, such as Downtown, resonate beyond the Los Angeles or Latino experience to more broadly challenge contemporary views on race relations, sexual orientation, gender, and wealth.  Alfaro’s influence as a curator of interdisciplinary artistic productions also defines his creative contributions.  He organizes group performances that offer marginalized artists and performers an opportunity to respond to cultural problems and collaborate as colleagues in producing their own work.

In addition to his work as curator, Alfaro teaches in colleges and youth outreach programs, directly mentoring the next generation of performers.  His work has been published in a number of anthologies, including The United States of Poetry (1995).  Alfaro is also the co-founder of the Salon Des Queers and an original member of the Dark Horses performance art collective.  He is the author/performer of 12 performance art pieces.

BIOGRAPHY
Alfaro is the co-director and associate producer of new play development for the Latino Theatre Initiative at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, and an associate artist of the Cornerstone Theater Company.

关于路易斯的作品
路易斯-阿尔法罗是一位行为艺术家、剧作家和诗人，他的作品将身份和社会权力的问题戏剧化。

文化和社会实践塑造个人和群体身份的方式是阿尔法罗作品的核心。 表演作品，如《市中心》，超越了洛杉矶或拉丁裔的经验，更广泛地挑战当代对种族关系、性取向、性别和财富的看法。 阿尔法罗作为跨学科艺术作品的策展人的影响力也决定了他的创造性贡献。 他组织的团体表演为边缘化的艺术家和表演者提供了回应文化问题的机会，并作为同事合作制作他们自己的作品。

除了作为策展人的工作，阿尔法罗还在大学和青年拓展项目中任教，直接指导下一代的表演者。 他的作品已经在一些文集中发表，包括《诗歌的美国》（1995年）。 阿尔法罗还是 "同性恋者沙龙 "的创始人之一，也是 "黑马 "表演艺术团体的原始成员。 他是12件行为艺术作品的作者/表演者。

个人简历
阿尔法罗是洛杉矶马克-塔珀论坛拉丁裔戏剧计划的联合导演和新剧开发的副制片人，也是基石剧团的副艺术家。
