History, Legacy, and Light: The Consciously-Embodied Art of Erica Fae

HowlRound: Erica Fae, barely into her forties, has been making theatre for over three decades. You can see her on television as a nude psychiatric asylum inmate in an episode of Boardwalk Empire or as Virginia Woolf in an episode of Doll & Em wandering a contemporary New York City street. You may have seen her on stage in a piece by Martha Clarke or some Fae has written, such as A Girl Joan about Joan of Arc or Take What Is Yours about the suffragette Alice Paul. You may know her as a teacher at the Yale School of Drama or New York University or movement-based workshops inspired by Grotowski and augmented by her own techniques honed over time.
