CV.
SHREDS
2026

is a verbatim theatre piece about how a generation actually talks to each other. Over five months, forty-six anonymous interviews were recorded with Northwestern undergraduates about loneliness, intimacy, and connection, gathering hundreds of hours of tape. Working in the tradition of Anna Deavere Smith, testimonies were cut into forty-five minutes of scenes performed entirely in the interviewees own words, staged at the Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts and as public installations on campus. Funded by a Northwestern SPP grant the piece was covered by The Daily Northwestern as an inside look at "Northwestern's verbatim theater experiment."
Performers:  Kason Chesky, felix gaddie, Nastia goddard, kate mccraken
SEX TECH No

SEX TECH NO

2025

Sex Tech No is a 45 min performance piece that explores three actual cases of romantic relationships between humans and AI chatbots, set in the middle of a high-energy techno rave. The piece blends clubbing, theater, and spoken word, with original techno score and outsourced deep fake projections creating a surreal, immersive environment. Dancers and actors move through the space, engaging with each other and the audience, who are on the floor with them. A loose narrative unfolds as human and machine identities blur and stories interchange, raising questions about intimacy, connection, and what it means to be human in a digital world.
