“This bold departure, an East L.A. tale of grief and loss, is told in a relentless series of tense heartbreaking emotional scenes... What a beautiful example of that gorgeous place where community expression meets formal experiment”
“Through the bits of codeswitching between Spanish and English onstage, the sprinkles of humor that add levity to the pain and the memories of motherhood that shine from the creatives behind the production.”
TERRIBLE LIZARD
director/producer.
Most people think that every dinosaur was immediately wiped out when the meteor hit. In reality, their extinction took several days. In that time, the few dinosaurs left wandering had to learn to navigate their newly unfamiliar home, their biggest fears, and how to properly deal with an annoying friend you desperately want to leave but can’t because they’re the only one you have left. Literally.
Premiered at THE OTHER SPACE @ The Actor’s Company, June 5th, 17th, and 24th, 2022
Fully realized production in the works.
First time producing, Angela is very excited not only to return to directing after a year, but now to play such an active role in bringing a show to life!

“One of Many Dreams of Insecurity” (2021)
DIRECTOR/PERFORMER/EDITOR.
Carrying the audience through an abstract dreamscape, ‘One of Many Dreams of Insecurity’ explores the narrative of someone getting ready for their wedding only to lose their partner to someone else moments before the ceremony begins. With curiosity about the balance and distinction between reality and dreams, this movement film is intended as a complimentary piece to a live performance in which the performer interacts with the projected video as a tether to to reality.
Currently undergoing sound design by yours truly.
AN ATLAS TO “THE NIGHT & OTHER ELECTRIC FLOWERS” (2021)
ROLE: ENSEMBLE, ASST. CINEMATOGRAPHER
Marigloria Palma is a Puerto Rican poet, playwright, and interdisciplinary artist who spent 20 years of her life in Los Angeles, observing Puerto Rico’s colonial struggle from a distance, and embodying the experience of displacement and in-betweenness that comes with simultaneously inhabiting two politically and culturally opposed homes. Through an intuitive filmmaking process carried out with CalArts artists in Los Angeles and by Lassalle-Morillo in Puerto Rico, this work-in-progress multimedia film project explores Marigloria’s writings as a poetic act of resistance, crafting a cinematic and performative atlas that meditates on the colonial relationship between Puerto Rico & the United States, and investigates how a territory’s ecology, collective memory, and cosmology affect the consciousness of those who inhabit it.
