Michelle Posadas

Position(s):

Facilitator

With the idea that telling stories through creating images is a vital part of social change movements, Michelle Posadas is a multi-media performance artist who examines how our personal stories connect to larger issues. She is a storyteller, organizer and teacher that brings communities together in collective art making. She learned how to use art as a vehicle for social change and her skills as a facilitator by working with Spiral Q Puppet Theater, located in Philadelphia, PA, for five years. Last fall, she was invited by Dream Community to join a team of international artists to teach in Taiwan and build towards a giant parade in Taipei. Michelle has also worked with Heart of the Beast's May Day Parade and Bread & Puppet Theater.

Michelle's commitment to change and organizing communities has been a fluid part of her life that began as a "conflict manager" in third grade. She is thrilled to join this Team and is enthusiastic to work with this year's Global Teen Leaders.
