Dianna Cortez

My interdisciplinary artistry is housed in my arts collective Lucada Mélange. Immersed in the art of storytelling, our work combines Butoh, voice, and music composition with a unique medley of arts to create original artworks, adaptations, and inter-art styles of existing works. Our artworks are deeply rooted in the belief that art is essential to life as it emerges from internal responses to external stimuli and offers new perspectives, transformation, and healing.

The heart of my work lives in the art of storytelling.

In Fiction, my passion is in developing complex and transformational characters and creating compelling moments that reflect life and it’s wildest imagination across multiple genres. I’m a classically trained Actor & Singer as well as Voice & Dialect coach. My interdisciplinary skills also enhance my audiobook narrations and meditations to create atmosphere and invite listeners into the author’s world.

I’m drawn to Non Fiction that explores environmental and social science, pschychology, self-help, and special interests that offer perspectives to audiences about what it means to be human.

My meditations are created with a warm and calming voice, and all of my works have a personal creative touch.

My mission is to create brave and meaningful works through Directing Theatre, Film, & Devised Multi/Interdisciplinary works. Guided by curiosity and a passion for unpacking complex questions within our communities and environments. My desire is to engage collaborators in artistic processes that are transformational. The goal is to entertain while offering new perspectives for audiences.
