Sandra Delgado Named Recipient of Fox Foundation Resident Actor Fellowship
Goodman Theatre has announced that it will host Chicago-based actress Sandra Delgado this season as a 2011 Fox Foundation Resident Actor Fellow, awarded by The William & Eva Fox Foundation and Theatre Communications Group (TCG). As a recipient of the Foundation's $15,000 fellowship, Delgado will embark on a year of international training and study in support of her new work, para mis Madres. As host theater, the Goodman arranges training and study for Delgado with other theaters in the United States and abroad, and provides rehearsal space and dramaturgical support as she creates and develops para mis Madres.
"I am honored and thrilled to receive this fellowship from the Fox Foundation and Theatre Communications Group, and to deepen my relationship with the Goodman-a theater that has been supportive of my work for many years," said Sandra Delgado. "This extraordinary program will provide me the opportunity to learn new theater-making techniques, broaden my artistic palette and provide an essential international perspective on my work."
During the next year Delgado will immerse herself in an intense study of actor-generated and interview-based theater making techniques to create an original show, para mis Madres. She will observe the work of The Civilians and Tectonic Theatre Project in the US and Marta Carrasco in Spain. Delgado will also train in physical theater with Philadelphia's Pig Iron and New York's Siti Company, and travel to Colombia to conduct interviews for para mis Madres. She will appear as Cecilia in Chicago Boys by Kathleen Tolan (October 27 - November 6, as part of Goodman Theatre's New Stages Amplified series), and Abby in A Christmas Carol (November 18 - December 31). Tickets are available at GoodmanTheatre.org.
