J&A Collective

J & A Collective is founded by multidisciplinary artists Jeysa Caridad and Adriana Moraes-Mendoza. They create and share original, culturally inspired stories engaged by female narratives. The collective’s first script, DiablaDivina, was developed at Factory Theatre in their playwright’s residency program, The Foundry. This piece continued on to Assembly Theatre’s 150 Workshop series, then excerpted and showcased in Aluna’s 2019 Caminos Festival, and now the full script has been adapted into an audio experience with Aluna Theatre in early 2021. Currently, J & A Collective has premiered their most recent project through the Producer program at Paprika Festival. A film inspired by the experiences of three very different Latinx women, Not Your Mija explores the complexities of identifying with the term Latinx and will now be continuing development in the Caminos Festival 2021. In between writing scripts, co-directing, and co-producing, the two release monthly collaborative series of visual artistry and poetry which can be found on their social media page, @j.a_collective.
