Sam Mitchell

I am Native American (enrolled with the Texas Band of Yaqui Indians; he/him) and earned a Ph.D. in Theater and Performance Studies at the University of California, San Diego. I earned an M.F.A. in Dance Theatre from the University of California, San Diego and a B.F.A. in Dance from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I have performed and taught theater and dance professionally for over 25 years. I recently performed with New Native Theater, performing in two play readings, Tewa Rising, written by Jaren Navenma and Salt Baby, written by Falen Johnson. I also was an actor in the film "The Premise of Gripping the Wall When You're Upset" with Toot Theatre, and performed as a solo dancer in the short film by Rosy Simas, titled, "Yödoishëndahgwa’geh" (a place for rest)
