Projects
The work is organized along two research lines: Jewish memory and diaspora, and American mythology and empire. Each line pursues a sustained inquiry across multiple projects, developed with ensembles through physical research and collective devising. Within each line, projects are grouped as In Development and Past Work.
Jewish memory and diaspora
This research line traces Jewish diasporic storytelling: the inherited narratives of displacement, return, and reckoning, along with the performance traditions that have carried them.
