About Me.
Hello! I'm Dani Perez, a director, stagehand, and technician based in New York. I grew up in Miami, Florida as a child of two Cuban immigrants and was lucky enough to attend a public magnet school called Miami Arts Studio 6-12. After discovering a love for directing, I applied and was accepted into Pace University's 2026 class of Directors. I have enjoyed learning about directing at a higher level of education and discovered my love for adapting/interpreting older texts and giving them new life. I am excited to break into the professional world and continue to work in making story's come to life, as both a director and a technician.
Education
2022-2026
Bachelors in Directing minor in Film and Screen Studies
Pace University
I have spent the past three years studying the techniques and history of those before me as well as honing my skills in directing. I've trained my skills not only through scene assignments in class but also through showcases and Assistant Directing assignments for mainstages at Pace University.
For much of my time at Pace I have also worked as a Production Student Aide and therefore have had a hand in putting up almost all the shows, in regards to lights, scenic, and sound, since I have been there.
