Harlem Stage WaterWorks Emerging Artists

Harlem Stage WaterWorks Emerging Artist, Jennifer Cendaña Armas is a performer, writer, and community worker from NYC, having graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in Theater. Cendaña has been selected to explore and create a new play/musical, Story of a Romance. Inspired by vinyl singles and maxi cassette, Cendaña Armas theatrically chronicles different versions of the same romantic relationship. She will compose, develop, and shape the music and story for this work, which explores the intersections of race, gender, citizenship, and class and how larger societal issues impact the most intimate relationships. Armas looks to challenge the notions that what women should be aspiring to are romantic partnerships, no matter the cost to our own well-being.
