Gabriel Maria Rodriguez (they/them) is an actor, writer, teacher, and storyteller. They make worlds and pretend to be them and the people and creatures inside them. Gabriel trained in acting and theatermaking at Emerson College and The Michael Chekhov School. A noted practitioner of the Michael Chekhov technique, they have worked extensively with some of the technique’s most renowned masters.
They travel the world performing and teaching in living rooms, backyards, shops, schools, and sometimes theaters. Their climate fiction play Jack of Cups was hailed by celebrated ecologist and philosopher Timothy Morton as “truly the first work of art I’ve seen that really, really gets to grips with the actual vastness and intensity of what is happening.”
They reside in the so-called Hudson Valley, on Schaghticoke, Munsee Lenape, and Mohican land.
