MORE DEVISING WITH STUDENTS…
Macbeth
As part of BEDLAM’s education program, one student actor and I spent ten weeks investigating a text of her choice: Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Our 45-minute solo show saw her taking on over a dozen roles, sometimes playing three or four at once; crafting an original framing story for the piece; and performing it remotely with a multi-camera set-up, live.
Theater of Nature
(i stop somewhere waiting for you)
A child said What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands;
How could I answer the child? I do not know what it is any more than he.
— Walt Whitman, from Song of Myself
An original devised piece based on the poetry of Walt Whitman, performed outdoors in Maine.

Working as dramaturg with director Zuzanna Szadkowski, I helped assemble this kaleidoscopic journey through Romeo and Juliet with sixteen high-school students, each with their own artistic area of expertise. With performers from the theater, music, and dance worlds, the piece became a celebration of young love and young artists.
