Ep. 65: Caminantes with Rosa Labordé
November 3, 2021
I think there’s been a lot of ‘it’s so good to be a perfectionist’ and actually, the toxic side of it that I came to in the last few years is that what you’re trying to cover a kind of shame, never wanting to appear wrong, or never being misunderstood. So it’s actually more about trying to not be something than to be something. – Rosa Labordé
Welcome back to Caminantes! In this series you’re invited behind the curtain of the 2021 CAMINOS festival and into the creative minds of this year’s ‘Caminantes’, those who are making the path as they go. The next series of episodes will feature artists who have been part of past CAMINOS festivals, and their insights on new work development!
This week features playwright, screenwriter, director and actress Rosa Labordé. We talk about her essentials for developing new work, her love for audiences, and she shares insights on producing the first theatre show at one of Toronto’s newest theatres (inside the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health!).
Catch the last two performances of Rosa Labordé’s play True, November 4 -5 at 8 PM in the brand new Joseph Workman Theatre. Buy tickets (pay what you wish!) at the Rendezvous with Madness Festival website.
Theme music is ‘Dejaron Huellas’ by Beny Esguerra and New Tradition Music. Listen to the full track here!
