Biography
Daniel is a director, writer, and producer born and raised in Panama City, Panama. As a director, he is drawn to works that explore the search for identity, community, and purpose in unfamiliar worlds, an interest fueled by his status as an immigrant and his experience with adapting to new cultures. He wants to create theatre that is as thoughtful as it is fun, hoping to make experiences that linger with audiences both for the questions they pose and the joy they spark.
Daniel divides his time between theatre and film, having a degree in Television, Radio, and Film from Syracuse University with a focus on directing for screen and screenwriting.
As soon as I visited the School, I fell in love with the place. Perhaps it sounds a bit irrational, but sometimes you get a vibe - and you just know! BOVTS gave me all the tools I needed to prepare for a career as an actor.
