Alejandro Postigo
Alejandro Postigo is a senior lecturer in musical theatre at the London College of Music, University of West London. His practice-based Ph.D. from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (2019) explored the intercultural adaptation of Spanish copla songs as demonstrated in his award-winning theatre shows The Copla Musical and The Copla Cabaret (2014–24), seen in Europe and America. Alejandro’s research explores historical revisionism of Spanish musical theatre, and applies translation, queer and intercultural theories to his professional practice as a theatre maker. Recent research has led him to address the cultural and linguistic barriers found in anglophone theatre contexts, and to champion the artistic contributions of non-native English speakers and audible minorities, as demonstrated in his latest show Miss Brexit (2022–24).
