Moriah Flagler holds a masters of fine arts in drama and theater for youth and communities from the University of Texas at Austin. She is a teacher, theater maker and scholar whose research focuses on community-based devising, applied improvisation and digital storytelling. Her work examines how devising digital stories with middle school-aged Spanish speakers foregrounds their community cultural wealth in a schooling system that often strips Latinx youth of their languages and cultures through subtractive assimilation. She will join the Be the Street team as artistic director.
