Associate Professor and Head of BFA in Performance, CU faculty member since 2003.听According to Cecilia, 鈥淢y research/creative work philosophy is rooted first and foremost in my听passion听for making art. I want to keep my art vital by exploring creative new form and content and by venturing into unconquered territories; to take the road less traveled. I follow this dictum, as a director/filmmaker, by striving to awaken the powers of thought, feeling, passion, inspiration and aspiration, through creations of daring new visions and thinking 鈥渙utside the box.鈥澨鼵U Theatre Directing credits include听Marisol, Go Lysistrata!,听Here I Am Here I Stay,听The Grapes of Wrath, Breaking the Code, Peeru Gunto and Alice in Wonderland or Not.听Production photos available at:听听Filmmaking Credits include:听The Greenhouse Effect (2010),听It听Has Not been Easy (2007); What Price Passion听(2006):听Official selection at TOMI film festival; Little Tiger听(2005): Official selections at: Vancouver Asian Film Festival, [Dis]Orient Asian Film Festival, The Indie Gathering (2nd Place Documentary Feature);听Gold Mountain Ballad听(2004): Official selection at Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival; and听The Hands that Build Shakespeare听(2003), screened at Denver PBS, Channels 6, 8, 12.
