And just like that… three weeks in Scotland, a run of MIDSUMMER!, and the inaugural season of the @centerfornewwork are in the books. 🥹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨

There really is nothing quite like the @edfringe. Three weeks surrounded by artists from all over the world—seeing theatre, making theatre, wandering Edinburgh, eating and drinking VERY well, laughing a lot, and getting to share all of it with people I adore. Not a bad way to spend August.

Bringing MIDSUMMER! to the Fringe with @playonshakespeare was a pretty wonderful way to close out the Center’s first season. What started as an idea about creating more opportunities for new work, collaboration, and meaningful connections between our @cmudrama students and the professional field somehow brought us all the way to Scotland.

Mostly, I leave feeling incredibly grateful for the people who made it happen—to our partners at @playonshakespeare; our Center family @brannonbowers and @annahanson; our wonderful collaborators @jeffwhitty @kimweild lucasfedele @randykovitz; and this truly fantastic group of young artists who worked hard, took care of one another, embraced the adventure, and represented @cmudrama beautifully.

We made a new play. We took it across an ocean. We did the Fringe. And somewhere in there, we made a whole lot of memories.

A very happy ending to our first season—and a trip we won’t soon forget. ❤️

This particular Shakespeare is such a great opportunity for unabashed silliness and chaos and subversion. What makes it so fun is the surprise of it all, people being here when they should be there, acting this way when they should be that way, being animals when they should be humans, wilding instead of sane-ing. Add to that the surprise of modern language in amongst the Shakespeare, and it's just such a delicious free-for-all. What I really love about this production is its emphasis on how much possibility lies in shaking off all the shoulds; it feels like there's even more unexpected shipping amongst the couples than you normally see in this play, and there's an open invitation to the audience to dream up wilder, better possibilities than the plain old heteronormative scripts we know. And it's so COLORFUL! Love me a tight and vibrant design aesthetic. Have a great run in Edinburgh, cast and crew! Thank you @centerfornewwork and @playonshakes for birthing such an exciting new remix of a classic!

For the past month I’ve been a part of the Summer Shakespeare Intensive with Shakespeare & Company in Lenox MA. It was spectacular.

I have so much gratitude for all the faculty, workshop management, and staff that made this experience possible. Thank you for giving me the space to investigate what it means to be human, to study and work rigorously, and be in community with other artists. Thank you for letting me play!

The breath is the beginning of everything.
And so it is.
