Artistic directors India Davison and Cornelio Aguilera are delighted to introduce their new company to Tampa with Topdog/Underdog. "The show makes you laugh even as you sense a darker undertow," muses Davison. "And it's the perfect opportunity to showcase the talent of our growing company," points out Aguilera.

"Over the last couple of years, several of us noticed how many talented actors of color there are in Tampa Bay and we also saw that there have been limited opportunities for those talented artists," observes Cornelio Aguilera, artistic director.

India Davison, artistic director, agrees: "Knowing that Tampa is a community that yearns for diverse arts and entertainment, we formed Fluid Expressions to create opportunities for us and by us. We're dedicated to showcasing actors and writers of color in ways that will enrich the Tampa Bay community."

Fluid Expressions is a professional, nonprofit performing arts company focused on expanding opportunities for historically marginalized artists and audiences in the Tampa Bay arts community.Fluid Expressions provides a supportive environment for artists of color through regular practice, workshops, and professional productions.
