We Drift In and Out
Ella and Sebastian are caught in a loop of meet-cutes—on a plane, in their apartments, in the Times Square Toys R Us Barbie Dream House. Is it the universe drawing them together? In a parallel timeline, Jess is a recently-dumped, part-time pizza place employee, and to make matters worse, her parents are coming to visit. As Jess reconnects with her family, these stories intertwine to reveal buried truths about love, memory, and sisterhood, in this ensemble comedy with a beating, bleeding heart.
We Drift In and Out is set to have a reading in April 2024.
Wonder/Land
Curiouser and curiouser! Follow us down the rabbit hole to explore our individual and collective relationships with our natural and built environments. Lose control and embrace chaos in this multimedia, interactive performance piece that allows us to rediscover a childlike sense of wonder. Also, there are volcanoes. Remember, to wonder is to ask questions, not to find answers.
Showcased at the Barnard Movement Lab on February 24, 2024.
Link to recording coming soon.
