Visual and Performance


My current mediums of choice are performance and video.  


Theatre

I am a director and dramaturg focused on producing new work from emerging playwrights who identify with queerness/dykehood/approaching gender from the margins. Highlights pictured below!

I’m a co-founder of Harlot.

My video work is inspired by artists including but not limited to: Pipilotti Rist, the Icelandic Love Corporation, Cindy Sherman, and seminal mockumentary Drop Dead Gorgeous.

Curatorial

I’m interested in contemporary asceticism and its mysteriously religious roots. How do we bring joy back to current rituals of eating? I curated an exhibit of work from the Vassar community and beyond investigating this topic. You can read the catalog for Holy/Hungry right here.
