Vero Maynez
ACTOR-Director-teaching artist
Hired at silk road rising
Winter 2023
I was recently hired as a Teaching Artist at Silk Road Rising. The organization self-describes as "a community-centered artmaking and arts service organization rooted in Asian, Middle Eastern, and Muslim experiences."
I have had the privilege of working on Chicago's Southside at Columbia Explorers Academy this Winter co-teaching with fellow local actor Nat Savoy. Each of our 6th and 7th grade students will write short plays performed in stage readings by professional actors.

I recently wrapped up two residencies at Cleveland Elementary School and Pierce Elementary School with 8th graders and 6th graders, respectively. In these residencies we explored the books The House on Mango Street and Locomotion in arts-literacy curriculum which culminated in a final performances. I'm happy to announce I've been signed on to take on another set of residencies at Barry Elementary with two groups of younger folks which will also culminate in peformances.
