Jasmin Cardenas is a Colombian-American award winning bilingual Storyteller, Theater maker, Actress, Educator and Social Activist. Jasmin is a theatermaker who uses teatro and play to create spaces where people can connect, tell their story, and spark change. A proud daughter of Colombian immigrants, Jasmin was inspired by El Teatro Campesino when she began using Theater of the Oppressed to devise original scenes with working people in the fight for workers rights. Learning T.O. with Augusto Boal dramatically altered the course of Jasmin’s life and she will be forever grateful. Together with Chicago’s working people she co-founded WorkersTEATRO in Chicago, IL, to amplify wage worker stories by engaging the public.
