Artists' Fellowship - 2002
(NYFA Prize Winner)
Playwriting/Screenwriting
Artist Statement:
My plays employ elements of 20th Century art history, 19th and 20th century architecture, and familial structures as a means of looking at personal identity formation and its relationship to race and nationalism. The language of these plays relies heavily on a poetic/theoretical vernacular and the dramatic structure is usually based on mythology. Talk, a play in four modules, is structured as a Greek symposium/academic panel discussion/ dysfunctional family gathering - looking at 50 years of American literary culture.
