Sophina Flores

Sophina is the founder of local QTPOC dance theatre company Roots and All Theatre Ensemble, centering marginalized identities and breaking the boundaries of realism, who you may know from "Liminal," "The Between Spaces," and "Ritual Treatment." She is thrilled to be designing her first show at Portland Center Stage, where she has assisted Marika Kent for several years. She also designs at Profile, Artists Repertory Theater, Bag and Baggage, Passinart, Salt and Sage, FUSE, Oregon Children's Theater, From the Ground Up, Crave, Hand2Mouth, and more. As a theatre maker, playwright, director, deviser, and choreographer, her work centers the intersectionality of identities as a neurodivergent, bisexual Puerto Rican woman, and prominently features themes of mental illness and trauma, with surrealist or magical realist motifs
