Cheating on my Blog

I've been straying again.  I've gone and written two more articles over on ArtAnimalMag.com.  I know!  But-but-but, baby, I thought of YOU the whole time!

The first is a feature about the up and coming Symmetry Theatre Company, which has a hefty mission of attempting to achieve gender parity onstage and to tell women's stories as honestly as possible.  I spoke with Chloe Bronzan, a cofounder of the company, and Valerie Weak, to discuss gender parity in the bay area, and how we as artists can tip the scales in our own small ways.  Symmetry has done three shows so far and their next will be The Language Archive in the spring, which I'm quite excited to see.
Check that article out here.




The next is an interview I had with the fantastic Sheila Callaghan, who I must admit I now have a total arts-crush on.  My very first trip to New York a few years ago (yeah, a few years ago, I'm sheltered), I saw Lascivious Something, and it was one of my favorites from that trip - in company with Cromer's production of Our Town and Ruhl's Passion Play.)  She's working on Port Out, Starboard Home, at foolsFURY Theatre, and has all sorts to say about theatre, screenwriting, Hollywood, and more!  Check that one out here.

Off-Topic: Holly DeFount Interview

Oh, my!  It's been a few months since I've updated.  I can explain!  I switched jobs from being the artistic assistant/literary manager/dramaturg at a small professional theatre to being the Company Manager at a very small but very mighty theatre.

(I chose Holly DeFount's Incidental Tarot Death card to illustrate this post. Death signifies change -  a major transformation - and the growth of little seedlings of new beginnings out of an ending.)

In addition to the more intense gig, I've added lots more freelance to my plate:  assistant dramaturgy for an awesome company and writing for a new online magazine, to name a few.

I wrote about my dear friend artist Holly DeFount for Art Animal Magazine.  Holly devoted herself to a once-a-day art card practice and ended up creating, printing, and selling a completely original Tarot deck (including the card above).  Check it out here.
