Creative Practice as Research:

                                       

 I am interested in the theatrical experience as a temporary community in transformation, a group of strangers coming together to undergo perceptional changes orchestrated by other strangers for the opportunity to share a moment of connectivity. In his 2005 essay "Trickster in a Suit of Lights," Michael Chabon calls on us to “reclaim entertainment as a job fit for artists and for audiences, a two-way exchange of attention, experience, and the universal hunger for connection.” This research is my answer to that call.   

 

Two professional producing entities have been my primary creative homes since 2007:

 

About Face Theatre (We Three Lizas, Packing, Leather Daddies) is a nationally recognized LGBTQ-focused nonprofit theatre based in Chicago. Scott Bradley has been an About Face Artistic Associate since 2010. Aboutfacetheatre.com

 

The Scooty & JoJo Show is a commercial production company founded by Scott Bradley and producer Jonny Stax to develop live multidisciplinary spectacles. For a catalog of its production history visit Scooty&JoJo portal on my professional website.
