I was a guest on Stage Right Radio today.

Here is the interview.

My full-length, “365 Last Suppers,” received a reading this past weekend as part of WordPlay, at Burdall’s Yard, in Bath, with OnSet Productions.  Always appreciative and joyful to share my work with a broader community, and receive their experiences of the piece and feedback.  Thanks OnSet Productions!

 

I’m looking forward to meeting other theatre artists and being a playwright for this 24 hour play festival that is using the popular game, “Cards Against Humanity,” as prompts, which I’ve never played.

Information

We do a lot  handmade gifts in my family.

I painted these matryoshka dolls of my family for everyone; because even when we are far apart we are always meant to be together.

This fall I did a letterpress seminar for emerging writers at the Center for Book Arts.  I appreciated the meditative process, the community of writers, and how helpful the letterpress process was in editing my work.  Here is the poem I did for my mother about her making stained glass.  Stained glass is one of her favorite mediums and growing up I was always inspired by her creative spirit and mindful process.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m so thrilled that “Eaten Voices,” winner of the Thespis Theatre Festival at the Cabrini Theatre in Manhattan, and a play that is very near and dear to my heart, will be shared in London, this upcoming Feb. 20th, 2015, as part of Unheard Focus Festival, a festival exploring themes around sexual abuse and violence. So affirmed to be collaborating with Goblin Baby Theatre Company, who I share so many artistic values with!

All profits made will be donated Rape Crisis South London.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to facilitate this writers’ room of smart, mindful, creative, and sassy gals with Playwrights Theatre of New Jersey.  I’m so proud of the strong plays that they crafted over the semester.

Looking forward to developing new work and expanding my creative community with the playwright group at Abingdon Theatre Company starting in January.

“Nobodies,” at the 4th Annual Puppets and Poets Lab  at;

The Bushwick Starr

207 Starr Street, Brooklyn, NY

Cabaret for mature audiences:

December 4-7th

Thurs-Sat 8pm, Sun 7pm

Using masks, shadow puppetry, and book pieces, “Nobodies,” is a devised physical theatre piece inspired from Emily Dickinson’s poem, “I am Nobody, Who are you?”

Join us in a fantastical, post-apocalyptic exploration of identity, ego, and embracing nobodiness as the key to strength and self identity.

Come see beautiful nature deities costumed by Tamara Leacock of Recicalgem , sublime sound design by Nicole Carroll, and the acting talents of Rebecca Gray Davis, Janice Gerlach, Tess Howsam, Jamie Law, and Melissa Puello.

I feel so inspired, grateful, and abounding with joy to collaborate with such a team of talented and beautiful artists as these lovely ladies!

Curiouser and Curiouser is an imaginative piece of physical theatre inspired from 1920s German Expressionist silent horror films and Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The experience of being unsettled in Wonderland is explored using masks, puppetry, projections, dance and music. The world is supported by a piano accompaniment, like 1920s silent films. The movement vocabulary of 1920s cinema will be explored as well. The world is highly stylized, distorted, beautiful, heightened, and unsettling.
