Projects

Camp Strangewood

Sparkhaven Theatre

At the beginning of the lockdown due to Covid, I was approached by my friend, Sloth Levine, asking me if I wanted to be a part of this project: a 6-part play series via Zoom with artists from all over the US. I knew theatre would not be returning to “normal” for a while due to the pandemic, and this seems like a really cool opportunity to try something new. The Camp Strangewood series takes place all in one night at a sleep away camp. Spooky and sinister things occur that all seem, well, STRANGE! I will be appearing in episode 5, written by Marge Buckley and directed by Audrey Seraphin, who are both fellow Emerson alums. I am very excited for rehearsals to get started and explore new ways of telling stories and fostering communities during this difficult time.

E-N-O-U-G-H

The Tank NYC

This self-written performance was my debut in the New York City theatre scene! My friend, Travis Amiel, hosts a series at The Tank titled Theatre Sux. Each performance, artists have to create a performance based on the given theme- this theme being talkbacks. I decided to have my performance explore the mental (and emotional) preparations that a dramaturg may put into a talkback, as it seems like a very vulnerable position to be in. I found this project to be both terrifying and rewarding as I was, once again, writing my own material and incorporating new technical mediums into this piece.

Romeo and Juliet

Huntington Theatre

This astoundingly current, gorgeously realized production nods to the political fractures of our current era, the cultural differences that pull us apart, and the enduring power of passion. If you think you know Romeo and Juliet, you’ve never seen anything like this… and you’ll feel the power of the world’s greatest writer in a whole new way.

As You Like It

Brown box theatre project

In the summer of 2018, I was lucky enough to tour with Brown Box Theatre Project’s production of As You Like It. Brown Box’s mission is to provide accessible, free theatre and performances to marginalized communities in Greater Boston and the DelMarVa area.

Strawberries and Watermelon

Emerson College

strawberries and watermelon: how to make a life worth living was a solo performance developed during my third year at Emerson. The piece explored the relationship between my family’s immigration to the United States and my family that lived as refugees during the 1947 Partition of India and Pakistan. I interviewed my mother, my uncle, and Aanchal Malhotra, an oral historian who is a prominent researcher on the 1947 Partition, and constructed their voices into a 15 minute piece.

I still consider this to be one of the most challenging and rewarding projects in my artistic career so far. I hope to develop this piece more in the future. For now, you can view strawberries and watermelon under the Media section of the site.
