Pepa Duarte is a Peruvian actor, theatre maker and drama facilitator based in London. As a multi-disciplined actor who is ‘always writing and always moving’ her unique process creates from the performative space and often explores themes of identity, migration, feminism and belonging.

Her work is constantly pushing boundaries to create unique, experiential and challenging pieces responding to the demands of social change.

Pepa’s practice has always been accompanied by her love for teaching. She began delivering workshops in improvisation in 2009 and has delivered acting, physical theatre, devising and applied theatre programs ever since. She has had the chance to work with children, young people, adults and professional actors in Lima, Buenos Aires, Berlin and London.

As a theatre maker, her work has been commissioned and supported by Battersea Arts Centre, CASA Festival, Counterpoint Arts, Popelei Theatre, UKNA, Arts Council England, Peruvian Embassy, Theatre Deli, Poplar Union, amongst many others.

PWYC

We strive to make our work as accessible as possible and we continue to look for new ways to break down barriers. Since 2018 all in-house productions, events and training programmes have either been free or part of our Pay What You Can scheme.

How does it work?

For all paid activities, there are multiple options and you can choose to pay a price that works for you at the moment.

To help you decide, we highlight a recommended price. This recommended price reflects industry standards (and what we’d “normally” charge) and anything above that allows us to continue our PWYC scheme.

We’re aware that many people are experiencing big financial challenges right now, so we’ve added some ‘donation places’ that allow you to pay whatever you can afford.

Foreign Affairs is a small non-profit organisation and we receive no regular funding. We appreciate your honesty and generosity when choosing your PWYC option.
