Groups

Class Acts Theater Group (2003 - 2005)
Class Acts was a political theater group devising and performing skits intended to inform and entertain the general public. The group went on permanent hiatus in February of 2005, due to membership difficulties. slithers.net/perfrm/classacts

While I was a member, we met for weekly improvisation and rehearsal and performed at various art events and political rallies with our satirical skits. I shared in the responsibilities for running and organizing rehearsals as well as directing, writing acting and performing. I also built a small website for this group.


And So No Sin Performance Troupe (2001 - 2003)
And So No Sin was a post-modern dance performance group which performed various movement-based pieces throughout the greater Boston area, from quick vignettes on the street to full-length stage performances. slithers.net/perfrm/andsonosin.html

While I was a member, I mostly performed various dance and stage combat pieces invented by the director, but as I developed as a performer, I assisted with some choreography as well. I also built the original website for our group. I quit in early 2003 due to artistic differences with the director.

DAGGER - Dykes with a Cutting Edge (2002)
Dagger was a street theater group associated with the Theater Offensive primarily for addressing queer women's issues. thetheateroffensive.org/dagger

Although not a lesbian, I was encouraged to join this group by several members because of my transgender aspect. I was very interested in feminism as well as performance art. This group was rather disorganized and also a big time commitment when I was simultaneously involved in And So No Sin, so I left the group after 3-4 months of involvement.
