Solo work
devour.,
Official selection for The Tank NYC’s 2019 LadyFest, a festival of new work by women/femme artists. Currently in development. Originally inspired by the goddess Ishtar in The Epic of Gilgamesh, devour., is an exploration of the ways in which we are formed and destroyed by romantic desire. Now, it’s essentially a play about Black women and alligators. More soon come.
