Building up the Fall

So many projects coming up!

HOW TO PUT ON A SOCK: my interactive sex ed tour of the United States! I’ll be wrapping up my Beatrice Terry Residency with The Drama League and will be sharing a fun public presentation in a few months. I’ve been working with powerhouses Kalyne Coleman, Yoni Gebeyehu, Aubyn Heglie, Jacob Russell, Sean Byrum Leo, Emma McIntosh, and more to bring it to new life—stay tuned!

EXITS, an audio-theatrical journey through the Brooklyn neighborhood of Fort Greene, will be on the streets starting October 1—and in your ears whenever you’d like after that. Using physical distance and aural intimacy, EXITS connects audiences with beloved community spaces we’ve departed because of COVID-19 and beyond. The project is supported by a slew of amazing groups, including New Georges, Brooklyn Arts Council, and—most recently—I got a grant through the City Artist Corps, run by NYFA, NYC’s Department of Cultural Affairs, and more.

VIP: the project I’ve been wanting to make FOREVER about the history of abortion in the U.S. I am thrilled to have been awarded a residency at Monson Arts in Maine from mid-November to December to finally dive in to developing it! I love Maine, I love residencies in Maine (thanks to a beautiful time at Barn Arts back in 2018), and I love correcting misconceptions around reproductive justice—and imagining a world in which people getting abortions were treated like VIPs.

And there will also be a movie version of my Clubbed Thumb project TEMPORARY OCCUPANT and a ton of pro-voter projects through my job at the Center for Artistic Activism. Gogogo!
