I love drawing and creating connections.
Click on the page “Giveness” to watch my short shadow puppetry films set to oral histories. My trio of short plays Third-Eye: or how to see while spinning received an LMCC Community Arts Grant.
Local stories inspire me. Ever since attending Cornerstone Theater’s Institute, I have had a passion for creating performances of little-known or remembered local stories and subjects, such as: work, transportation, a land preserve, and, for Nellie Perrera, in Takes on Silence, a silent film studio in Brooklyn.
I was a Fulbright scholar to Denmark and wrote my thesis on the ways in which theatricality shaped the development and dramaturgy of a play created by Gruppe 38. I have an MFA in dramaturgy from Stony Brook University, and I am a member of LMDA.
