About

Brenda Giraldo began working in Charlotte, NC as a dancer, choreographer, and teaching artist sharing her Latin American culture through dance. A 2007 graduate of Queens University of Charlotte with a B.A. in Art Studio/Art History and a minor in Spanish, Brenda continued to perform, teach, and create works of art across the Carolinas and surrounding east coast areas. She received hands on training and professional development during her employment at the Children’s Theatre of Charlotte, adding drama and storytelling to her artist repertoire. Her performance and teaching credits include: Children’s Theatre of Charlotte, Wolf Trap Education Institute, Ballet Folklórico Las Americas, The Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, the Afro-American Cultural Center, and the Latin American Women’s Association to name a few. In the summer of 2015 Brenda relocated to Pittsburgh, Pa where she focused on painting, and furthering her performing arts training. She completed several commissioned works of art, including 2 large scale murals for local businesses, performed improv shows at the Steel City Improv Theater, and attended classes at the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and the Millennium Dance Complex. In the spring of 2019, she joined the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust education team as a teaching artist and in the fall helped devise and perform a staged show based on the literary works of Edgar Allen Poe for the TrustArts Poetry Project. At heart she is a multi-disciplined artist and educator who enjoys the daily opportunity of helping audiences explore their creativity and learn through storytelling and the arts.
