femina shakes
2011-2019

Founder and Artistic Director for Femina Shakes: an intiative born out of a need to create more, better performance opportunities for female-identifying students at BU School of Theatre. Yearly productions of Shakespeare’s plays were intentionally staged in response to this need. Though originally conceived as an all-female ensemble, Femina Shakes refined its mission to include students from across the wide spectrum of sex and gender identities to participate. Widening the vision allowed students to challenge cis-normativity, to have a place to consciously play with gender identity and expression, and to explore the intersections of gender, sex, race, class, and ability through the dynamics of power present in those plays.
