Morning geography lessons with Ms. Lucille. "Where have you been?" (Ecuador, Central Europe...) She also points to New York City and Tanzania. Definitely her parents daughter! #beinglosbaxteros #beingbabybaxtero #lgbaxter #dramaticadventure (at New York, New York)

#Repost @rennn92 - Actor & Teaching Artist on DAT's 'ACTion: Heart of Europe 2015' ・・・ There is no greater photo that honors International Day of Happiness AND World Day of Theater for Children and Young People falling on the same day. This past summer, these inspiring young kiddos jumped into opportunities to share their stories, learn new things, and grow outside their comfort zones both on stage and off. Little did we both know, they allowed us to do the exact same. Missing these beautiful faces every day!

#latergram After traveling from the Amazon, we worked our way across the Andes and up the coast to Esmeraldas -- the heart of Afro-Ecuadorian culture! We have been working in the city of Esmeraldas for years, but with this trip we met with new partners in a small, charming village accurately named "Pueblito." It was a fantastic meeting and we are thrilled to be expanding our efforts into this rural community. And as you can see from this mural, although there is no ongoing arts education being offered at this school -- there is definitely a desire to learn! #dramaticadventure #movedtoact #esmeraldas #afroecuatoriano #ecuadorisallyouneed #artseducation #theatreeducation #allvoicesmatter #niñosenelarte #childreninthearts (at Pueblito, Esmeraldas, Ecuador)

#latergram We decided to hike in for our meeting with the leadership of this Shuar community in the Amazon. Although things began cautiously, we all left the meeting feeling like this was the beginning of an important relationship. We look forward to working hand in hand with our new friends to strengthen public speaking/storytelling skills -- needed now more than ever as their voices desperately needs to be heard. #dramaticadventure #movedtoact #artseducation #theatreeducation #empoweredvoices #poweroftheatre #indigenousrights #amazonjungle #ecuadorisallyouneed

#latergram Heading into the Amazon in our trusty 'Pichi' -- meeting with the syndicate of a local shuar community! #dramaticadventure #movedtoact #adventuresofpichi #pichirilo #vwbug #amazonjungle

What an incredibly productive and fun trip this has been. Hasta pronto Ecuador, see you for ACTion 2017!! #dramaticadventure #movedtoact #actionecuador #inflight #ecuadorisallyouneed

#latergram On our way to another community meeting, we were shown nearby and newly discovered ancient petroglyphs. Amazing. Love this one! #dramaticadventure #movedtoact #ecuadorisallyouneed #indianajones #ancientaliens
