Hi there!
I'm Brianna, a director, actor, maker, and educator based in Western Massachusetts. I make work that centers physically awake storytelling and embraces theater as a vehicle for community building. I have a vast background in crafting site-specific & outdoor theatre and performance for public spaces. I am a co-founder of TheatreTruck, a mother-owned collaborative that crafts mobile & site-specific performance, sustainably and playfully. I am passionate about excavating place-based stories and lifting up marginalized histories through research-driven devising and development work. I care deeply about diverse representation in theatre and expanding the canon. As a producer-director I work to cultivate socially conscious productions with refined detail and honed artistry and I bring the same high standards and thoughtful processes to my classroom. I hold an MFA in Directing (UMass Amherst), BA (Hampshire College), and a certificate for intensive study of physical & mask theatre and Commedia dell’Arte at the Accademia dell'Arte (Arezzo, Italy). And I'm always learning! |
