Melina Mariposa

Guardians, Theatrical Department, Volunteers

Mel comes to Caturday with a huge enthusiasm for EDM, festival culture, creative expression, and the Caturday Community! She was inspired to get involved in the Caturday productions after realizing that Caturday was comprised of some of the most insanely talented 20-somethings she’d ever encountered. She’s been bringing her background as an acting coach to her role in co-directing the theatrics for Guardians of the Mystics, and also voices the narrator and Kaelen in the production. You’ll almost never recognize her when you see her at a Caturday event- Mel’s got a knack for disguising herself and going incognito for the night. A writer, relationship coach, and advocate for consent culture, Mel will be providing some articles for the upcoming Caturday blog.

Testimonials

“You know the club scene? you pay for cover, then coat check, then for atm fees, and then a drink, and all of a sudden you’re out 30 bucks and you’re kind of off to a bad start. you feel weirdly over and underdressed. you and your group of friends stands in a small circle and sort of self-consciously dance at each other. katy perry again. you try to yell conversations. you see someone you kind of know, but decide not to say hello cause it’s a bit awkward. someone grabs your butt. ugh. not sure what to do, you order another shot. next thing you know, you’re sitting on the nightbus with a spinning head, and you can’t help but think, “was that it?” it never got weird enough for me.

Now caturday – you’re ALWAYS under-costumed. people you kind of know, maybe just from facebook, give you a big hug! you admire the hand-crafted artwork, and spectacular stage design, that obviously took hours to make! the music gets your feet movin. womp womp. you’re not huddled either – everyone is dancing, together! music music lights lights vibin. and then there’s a performance! an well-rehearsed theatrical bit to really connect you to the theme of the night.

Caturday events are sort of the thing that make you think- ahh this is what i was looking for! it was here all along! it was waiting for me! good clean fun. older children gettin funky and playing dress-up with lights and music.”
