Festivals/Curatorial Roles:

 

Williamsburg Community Circus: March 2013 – July 2014, Williamsburg Church (Brooklyn, NY)

A monthly interdisciplinary festival founded upon the definition of circus as “unity in diversity”. Each performance includes artists working in at least three mediums. As curator, I personally interviewed each artist for at least an hour to sculpt a proper introduction for them on the night of the festival. The space for this festival was donated by the Williamsburg Church and admission for audiences was 100% free. This festival facilitated the creation of over 50 new works over the course of its run with a total budget of $0.

 

The Lost Shores’ First Annual Autumnal Festival: A Circus Celebration: November 2012, Pete’s Candy Store (Brooklyn, NY)

On three consecutive Sundays, I booked the entire evening of performance at the venerable Williamsburg Venue Pete’s Candy Store. Each evening consisted of two musical acts and a performance artist. This festival birthed two new musical groups that continue to play regularly to this day.
