Director's Biography

Lynn Fisher is the director of Frontera Arts and has worked in performing arts management and booking for 26 years.

Delfos in Context

Once or twice annually, Frontera Arts organizes and hosts trips to Mazatlán, México for presenters, service organizations, collaborators and dance faculty who are interested in working with Delfos. It is an opportunity to engage with Delfos Artistic Directors one on one exploring possibilities for engagements, exchanges and partnerships. Located on the beautiful Pacific Coast of Northern Mexico, participants  are able to see Delfos in their home setting, observe classes at the Escuela Profesional de Danza de Mazatlán, attend performances at the historic Angela Peralta Theater and see one of the most vibrant and thriving cities for  the arts in Mexico.

Quotes in the field

Having worked together on a variety of projects, I’ve always admired Lynn’s enthusiasm for cultural exchange. Her commitment to building long term partnerships with artists in Mexico should be a model for our field. — Joe Randel, Director, Artes Américas, University of Texas At Austin, Texas Performing Arts

Lynn Fisher has been a leader in the performing arts for many, many years and her passion to increase knowledge in the United States regarding Latin American artists and their work, especially in Mexico is well known. Way before Latino arts, artists and aesthetics, as well as residencies between the U.S. and Mexico, for example, began to proliferate in both countries, presenters and artists have always looked to Lynn and Frontera Arts to make these projects happen in a respectful and sustainable manner. Thanks Frontera Arts.  We are truly grateful! — Cristina King Miranda, Directora General/ General Director, FMX Festival de México en el Centro Histórico, Mexico City, Mexico
