Biography

Chicahua Zipactonal Martínez (they/them/elle) is a Trans Non-Binary, Xicané, polymath Performing Artist, Writer, Creator & Freelance Photographer who not only intends to make art that gives everyone a seat at the table but gives them the voice to speak at it! They are proud alumni of The American Musical & Dramatic Academy (AMDA), attending both New York and Los Angeles campuses with a BFA in the "Performing Arts." They recently graduated with their MFA in "Contemporary Theatre and Performance" at The New School of Drama with a Minor in "Transmedia and Digital Storytelling." Chicahua is a creator that aims to develop stories that surround and highlight queer identities, the complexities of breaking patterns in family trauma in communities of color, and, more importantly, to allow audiences to walk away from the body of work continuing the conversation. Chicahua refuses to shy away from reality and strives to be comfortable with the uncomfortable, whether with honest language, representation, or allowing unmarginalized people to speak for themselves.
