Nucky Walder was born in Paraguay.
She was a member of Tiempovillo, a group of the ‘70’s with which she
traveled throughout most of Latin America, acting and offering acting
workshops. Walder founded the Grupo Teatro Universitario, and La Máscara,
while participating in Teatro Arlequín as well. In 1984 she arrived in the
USA where she collaborated with GALA Hispanic Theater. Given her particular
interest in artistic education, she developed theater education programs in
several educational centers in the area. For three years the DC Commission
on the Arts and Humanities awarded her funding for the “Bilingual
Drama/Literary Workshops” program for students attending Bancroft Elementary
School in Mount Pleasant. In 1991 Walder co-founded Teatro de la Luna, where
she participates as producer and has acted in more than 20 productions. In
1999, together with M. Marcel, Walder was recognized for her artistic work
with the Tony Taylor Award from the Cultural Alliance of Greater Washington. |
