Meet Alejandra Enciso-Dardashti: A Beacon of Passion and Purpose
Alejandra joined the Bocón board inspired by her close friend and Bocón's dynamic leader, Crystal. "I love her and I support her work and what she wants to accomplish with theatre for youth," Alejandra shares. Together, they strive to expand Bocón’s reach and ensure as many people as possible experience and enjoy transformative theatre.
A Vision of Community and Conversation
Alejandra describes Bocón’s mission as offering visibility and sparking conversations in communities that often lack productive, constructive outlets. "Bocón serves an audience that does not have many healthy, constructive options," she explains, emphasizing the organization's role in fostering dialogue and understanding within the community.
Embracing Opportunities for Greater Impact
Alejandra highlights the ongoing opportunities to elevate Bocón’s visibility and voice in the community. "While the company does incredible work, there’s always room to grow our presence and make our impact even louder," she suggests. Her focus is on enhancing communication to more cohesively showcase the transformative experiences Bocón offers, ensuring the organization’s efforts resonate more deeply and broadly across diverse audiences.
The Transformative Power of Arts Education
For Alejandra, the importance of arts education cannot be overstated, especially in a multicultural context like San Diego County. "It is crucial! It touches the soul, changes perspectives, and with that, even decision-making in everyday life," she passionately states. This belief drives her commitment to ensuring arts remain a core component of community development and personal growth.
Engagement and Support: How to Make a Difference
Alejandra encourages the community to engage with Bocón actively. "Following the social media channels and subscribing to the newsletter to be aware of upcoming events is vital," she advises. Additionally, she highlights the importance of donating time and resources, which are crucial for sustaining and expanding Bocón’s activities across the county.
A Rewarding Journey in Arts and Community
Reflecting on her most rewarding moments, Alejandra finds joy in the creative process itself. "Seeing the playwrights and how a play comes to life is incredibly rewarding," she reveals. This process, from concept to curtain call, is a testament to the hard work and dedication that fuels Bocón.
A Heartfelt Message to the Bocón Community
To close, Alejandra extends a heartfelt invitation and message to the broader Bocón community: "Come see the magic we're making. Whether you're a volunteer, staff member, or family, your support and presence breathe life into every production. Let's continue to grow and celebrate the arts together."
