Dinorah de Jesús Rodríguez 
​Is a visual artist and experimental filmmaker working with expanded cinema, public intervention, installation, and media design for stage. Often incorporating nature and the outdoors into her work, Rodriguez probes such themes as genetic memory, social constructs, ecology, the body, gender, and sexuality. Combining handcrafted 16mm film with video, installation, and live performance, her pieces are exhibited internationally in film festivals, museums, galleries, TV, public venues, and on stage, as well as in public spaces as interventions. Most recently, her work was exhibited in the 2019 Havana Biennial. In 2018 she completed two installations at the Centro de Desarrollo de Artes Visuales in Havana. In 2017, she participated in a multidisciplinary residency in collaboration with choreographer Lucia Aratanha, sponsored by National Performance Network and Mujeres en las Artes in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, which resulted in a street performance titled Esquema María addressing the influence of the Virgin Mary in the lives and identity of Latinas.

305 & HAVANA INTERNATIONAL IMPROV FEST '20 ​is a festival that promotes the art of improvisation in performance and film. Taking place during two consecutive weeks in Miami, and Havana, the 305 & HAVANA INTERNATIONAL IMPROV FEST '20 presents master classes by international artists, curated screenings and performances that deepen into the art of improvisation, bringing together performing artists, filmmakers and audiences across two cities.

Partnering venues includes the Miami-Dade County Auditorium On.Stage Black Box Theatre (Miami, Florida) and Workshops at Miami Light Center (Miami, Florida) and Fabrica de Arte Cubano (Havana, Cuba). In the life of a stage or creative space, improvisation is considered an instrument for exploration and a tool for expanding creative possibilities. Open-ended investigation into the art of improvisation in different artistic expressions has become a tool that has no limits in the search for an authentic language through movement or ideas.  

​Every year, the festival commissions a Miami-based artist to present work across the two cites. This year, composer and sound artist DEE BERTOLDI has been selected as the 305HAVIIF 2020 Commissioned Artist. This commission is made possible by the support of Vivian Marthell, Co-director of O Cinema. ​
