I am a dramaturg and educator based in New York City. I am excited by dance dramaturgy, adaptations, dramaturgically-informed archival practices, and the development of theater curricula.
I am a dramaturg and former professional dancer dedicated to embracing movement literacy and multi-sensory ways of knowing in all my creative pursuits. I earned my MFA in Dramaturgy from Columbia University in May 2025. My MFA thesis was titled "This Archive is a Living Thing: Embracing the Dramaturgy of Memory's Use and Access to Redefine and Enliven Public-Facing Performance Archives." I currently work as a freelance dramaturg and a lecturer at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. Updates on my work in academia as both a scholar and lecturer can be found here.
As a dramaturg, I am committed to contributing to inclusive, anti-racist, equitable work that embraces and honors the complexities of intersectional identities; I hold stories of LGBTQ+ and Jewish individuals particularly close to my heart. View the list of my recent dramaturgy projects here.
what is dramaturgy?
Dramaturgy is the collaborative practice of learning, communicating, and crafting worlds for performance. These performance worlds are created to be given away. They are offerings for audiences; they are made real (and made whole) by this act of offering.
My work as a dramaturg involves meeting and immersing myself in these worlds as I first receive them—in their nascent, un-offered forms—and learning all that I can about them and their potential. I then work in collaboration with other members of a creative team to identify, define, and translate the necessary workings of the world; from there, we can build these worlds for offering.
Dramaturgy is an artistic practice that I believe sits at two important intersections: the crossing between a creative vision and its execution, and that of a performance work’s creators and its audience. The work that builds, offers, and welcomes audiences to performance worlds—the work that stretches and fills out the boundaries of a vision, that shapes and externalizes the imagined or imaginary, that reaches out a hand to the receivers of the work—is dramaturgy. And it is work that I am extraordinarily grateful to do.
