Alessandra Fisher  a native Brazilian, Theatre Teaching Artist,  Community Advocate, TV Show Producer and Presenter, completed her Master in Theater Education and Community at Emerson College. She earned a Bachelor in Liberal Arts at UMASS Boston. Alessandra believes in the process of theatre as a  transformative practice for actors and non-actors. She focuses on  techniques that engage body, mind and emotion in the process of connecting with the self and with each other. She has developed projects and lead workshops to  a diverse group of people in non-theatrical settings such as non-profit organizations and health clinic. She is committed to make theater accessible to everyone. Throughout her workshops, she uses theatre as a tool to engage participants in a creative process to explore solutions, to engage in dialogue and to inspire social change.  Alessandra focuses on projects and opportunities that promote inclusion, diversity and equity. By collaborating with other artists and professionals, who are dedicated in shedding a light and amplifying the voices of marginalized individuals who are forgotten and experiencing  injustice, racism, violence, and oppression, Alessandra hopes to be part of the change.  One of her latests projects is her tv show, A Hora da Poetisa, where she works as the producer and presenter. With this project, she wants to enhance the visibility of members of the Brazilian community, who are engaged in social projects worldwide and are making a positive impact.
