About

imposters

a “verbatimish” play about grad students and their terrible feelings constructed from fragments of dozens of interviews with humanities graduate students.

keep / donate / trash

a solo performance weaving connections between family memory, loss, hoarding, minimalism, and white working class identity.

junk

a collaborative dance performance about collecting and minoritarian memory with script devised from oral history interviews with archivists and self-identified hoarders.
