I am a theatre-maker with an artistic home base in Western Massachusetts. I am always looking for long-term collaborators and new projects. I freelance as a new play development dramaturg and offer a number of applied theatre workshops for University, Theatre, and community groups.
My primary areas of interest are trans and queer performance, applied theatre, and new play development. |
Current Projects
I am working with a fantastic team of LMDA dramaturgs--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?"
