Finn Lefevre, they/them pronouns

I'm an instigator, a Joker, a questioner, a listener, a learner, and a collaborator.
I freelance everywhere, but my artistic home base is in Western Massachusetts. I am always looking for new collaborators and projects. My primary areas of interest are trans and queer performance, applied and community-based theatre, and new play development. |
Current Projects
I am part of the 2020-2021 cohort of International Dramaturgy Lab. As part of IDL, I meet with a group of dramaturgs weekly to collaborate, share skills, seek support, challenge our dramaturgical assumptions, and create art together.
I edited this video to showcase some of the ways our group works and some of the questions we have explored.

I am working with a fantastic team of LMDA dramaturgs--Lynde Rosario, Liana Irvine, Linda Lombardi, Russell Dembin, Martha Steketee, Jess Applebaum, Ken Cerniglia, Heather Helinsky, and Anne G. Morgan--on a project called "Dramaturging the Phoenix." From the website:
"In April 2020, LMDA asked its members to contribute short essays to boldly inspire, provoke, and explore theatre’s potential to transform through global crisis. The Dramaturging the Phoenix challenge challenged writers to imagine the 'radical dramaturgy' that will lead theatre and performance into the next year, decade, and century. What ideal theatre-making will heal the communities, nations, and the globe during the long recovery ahead? How can dramaturgical imagination and practices shape the theatrical phoenix that will rise?"
Read more about the project here.
Watch a conference panel showcasing some of the essays below.
Join us on Tuesdays at noon ET every week to continue the conversations! Message me for zoom link.

I was recently interviewed by students from the University of Evansville Department of Theatre for their LMDA 2020 project: CoVIDEO VISIONS. Watch a segment of the interview here:
I wrote a case study on trans applied theater for Diversity, Inclusion, and Representation in Contemporary Dramaturgy: Case Studies from the Field, available now!
I was recently interviewed by Alex Mancini for Beyond the Binary project, photos below. You can see more photos from the shoot and read my interview here. I promise I had my eyes open in some of them!
