PLAYWRITING
I am a dramaturg by training, but within the last few years, I have started to cultivate my voice as a playwright. I aim to draw stories of lived-in, real characters with urgency around social, political, and cultural issues. I enjoy balancing the “intellectual”-- history, headlines, adapted text (#dramaturg!)-- with ease (humor, grounded specificity, gentle irreverence). I come from devising and hands-on new play development worlds, so I thrive on collaboration and questions.
I want to engage with ideas in the way you'd approach a potluck dinner: a little bit for lots of people and there's a lot to dig into. I like to create things for people to gather around, to make space to discuss and dissect things we don't always address, to make non-artists feel seen and excited by theatre, to offer perspectives/stories and characters that feel like they haven't seen a spotlight before. I love intersectional stories.
