Artistic Director

Sophina Flores (she/her) is the founder of Roots and All Theatre Ensemble.

Sophina directed Liminal, The Between Spaces and Ritual Treatment at Roots and All Theatre Ensemble. Recently she has worked as an Assistant Lighting Designer to Marika Kent at Portland Center Stage, and designed lights at Bag and Baggage, Passinart, Salt and Sage, The Actor's Conservatory, FUSE, Oregon Children's Theater, From the Ground Up, Crave, Lewis and Clark, Hand2Mouth, Profile, Portland Center Stage, and Artists Repertory Theater. Other directing credits include "Rancho Trinidad," "The F-Word," "Wedding Grift," "Little Women," "A Slight Ache," "Romeo and Juliet," and "Noises Off!" As a theatre maker, playwright, deviser, and choreographer, her work centers the intersectionality of identities as a neurodivergent, bisexual Puerto Rican woman, and prominently features themes of mental illness and trauma, with surrealist or magical realist motifs.

Sophina is so excited to collaborate with this ensemble of incredible people, and to change the face of performing arts together.
