THEATRICAL LINE PRODUCER

“AT THE BARRICADES” by What Will The Neighbors Say? at Mitu580 (June 2025) - ASSOCIATE PRODUCER

“At the Barricades” is a source-based history play about the international troops fighting in the Spanish Civil War, co-written by the What Will the Neighbors Say? Co-Artistic Directors James Clements and Sam Hood Adrain. The drama follows six different characters from the United States, Spain and Scotland, brought together, despite their varied backgrounds, by a shared desire to fight against Franco’s fascist coup. We join them on the outskirts of Madrid in January 1937 and witness, over the course of a year, how their political loyalties, personal relationships and understanding of themselves are strengthened, challenged and irrevocably changed by the tragedy and the carnage around them. Developed through a partnership with the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives (ALBA), this prescient new play asks the question: how far would you go to protect the freedoms of others?

The project was developed at the Brooklyn Art Haus with the support of the Brooklyn Arts Council, and through a year-long residency at NYU’s Espacio de Culturas at KJCC with Director Federica Borlenghi and Script Supervisor Skye Pallo Ross. This play is supported, in part, by funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

What Will the Neighbors Say? programming is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

“the leg.” BY notamuse theater (MAY 2025) - Line Producer

I Line Produced “The Leg.”, Produced by notAmuse Theater, created and directed by Sophie Amieva, premiering at Mitu580 in May 2025,

The Leg is an ensemble-based physical theatre performance that uses Butoh, Bouffon and Puppetry to explore the links between spirituality, pain, pleasure and politics. Drawing from the writings of Foucault and Preciado, this devised hybrid movement piece combines laughter and danger to explore the idea that we are all political fiction alive.

REVIEWS
”The Leg challenges the viewer to engage with some discomfort, to dare to laugh, while offering ample sensory enchantment in the dynamic lighting, the costuming, and the soundscape–both scored and that of the fans inflating fabric. Performed boldly yet with much nuance, The Leg is continually captivating.” -Evangelia Antonakos, Thinking Theater NYC

”notAmuse Theater’s mission is “to create visceral theatrical work that peels back layers of human complexity and social power in order to recognize the true core of one another’s humanity.” The Leg lives fully in this mission. It’s funny, unnerving, elusive, and bold. You may not “get it” in the traditional sense, but if you let it, the show will get under your skin—and stay there.” - Malini Singh McDonald, Theater Beyond Broadway

A site-specific, eco-feminist reimagining of Eugene O’Neill’s Pulitzer Prize winning play ANNA CHRISTIE. Produced by eco-theatre company On The Hook. An immersive re-imagining of a classic American play, told through an “eco-social” lens. Audiences climbed aboard the Lehigh Valley Barge #79 docked in Red Hook, Brooklyn NY, to unpack how humankind’s domination of the Earth is echoed in patriarchal attitudes past and present.

“ For a play set aboard a barge being performed aboard a barge that existed when the play debuted 101 years ago…feeling fully transported was just what the doctor ordered.” — Brad Vogel,  REVIEW - Little Cat Feet…With Claws: Eugene O’Neill’s Anna Christie Takes to Sea in Red Hook

“REMINISCENCE”, DEVISED PIECE, ITALYTIME CULTURAL CENTER COMMISSION (JUNE 2022) - CURATOR, CO-PRODUCER

In February 2022, I was commissioned by the Italytime Cultural Center to curate a project I have been wanting to develop in a while. I grouped 6 international actresses aged 21 to 36, and lead a community-based experiment investigating themes of language, cultural expression, and familial separation, this piece invites audiences to consider what it means to exist between places called "home". I ended up curating a lyrical sensorial piece featuring music and movement to highlight the confusion and ecstasy of translingual communication, and a key aspect of living abroad: gaining fluency in a new language at the expense of your mother tongue. On “Reminiscence”, I worked as Producer, Director, Writer, Casting Director and Costume Designer. It is thanks to this experience that I discovered how much I enjoy curating events from head to toe, and delivering compelling and visually cohesive work.

“HERE WE GO”, a Site-Specific THEATER PRODUCTION Company (2018-2021), co-founding artistic director and creative producer

I was the founding Co-Artistic Director at HERE WE GO, a Site-Specific theater company, where I served as Creative Producer from 2018 to 2021. The company was a platform for emerging artists based in NYC, focused on producing summer and winter short play festivals, featuring live music.
With HERE WE GO, I creative produced 2 in person festivals, in the basement of a church in the West Village, and in a Warehouse in Bushwick. We premiered 8 original short plays, and featured around 50 artists based in NYC. After receiving over 300 submissions for our second operating year, we launched a reading series at Areté Gallery in Greenpoint, and presented 4 short new plays.

With the global pandemic, we went virtual, and produced a lockdown-themed 24h Zoom Festival, featuring various artist from all over the globe. We were featured on Italian and Brazilian magazines and on the Argentine news. We then produced a second iteration in response to the Black Lives Matter protests, offering 5 black writers space to process, mourn and heal through storytelling and community. Our last iteration was dedicated to writing stories for kids.

The company was dissolved shortly after, as the team aspired to grow in different directions, and as I cared to not contribute in making indie theater inaccessible to young artists.
