The Double

Jessica performs in Sex in a Coma at HERE Arts Center, directed by Lee Breuer, written by Susan Eve Haar. Jessica's double is made by the ever talented Jessica Scott.

The majestic Majestic. Dollhouse Boston.

Dollhouse at the Kennedy Center

Dollhouse performs in its 32nd city! At the formidable Kennedy Center in D.C. Jessica plays Helene, the sturdy bumbling drunk pregnant maid, and the usual wall-jumping, child-carrying stilt creature. Jessica is once again astounded by the strength of the container of the show to allow for so much passion and play.

NYC and the East Coast of America

Jessica returns to NYC in July, 2011 and begins work on several Lee Breuer-directed projects.
First as a puppeteer in La Divina Caricatura, which is performed at P.S. 122, and is a dizzying room full of fabulousness, including singers from Gospel at Colonus: Fred and JD of the Steeles, Eugene of the Soul Stirrers, Maxine and the Wild Women, amazing Bunraku puppetry led by Jessie Scott, video by Eamonn Farrell, and the inimitable Ruth Malezchech, Greg Mehrten, Maude Mitchell, and John Margolis.
Then as an actor and all-around collaborative creator of Glass Guignol, which premiers at the Tennessee Williams Festival in Provincetown, MA, on September 24th.
Now Jessica moves into rehearsals for Sex in Coma, to open at HERE at the end of November, and gets ready for the resurrection of Mabou Mines' Dollhouse at the Kennedy Center in October, and the Majestic Theater in Boston in November.

Jessica plays a computer chatbot program becoming human in the Turing Opera at the National Opera of Greece. It is actually the first act of what will one day be a full two act opera. All of Anonymous Ensemble's tricks at play, but on a larger scale, with 8 opera singers, and a sixteen piece orchestra.

The Turing Opera

After a month in Berlin, Paris, and Thessaloniki, Jessica returns to Athens to begin work on The Turing Opera, a new work of theater and opera that is a collaboration between Anonymous Ensemble and the Experimental Wing of the Greek National Opera. She will play a superhuman computer chatbot program who brings the world of the opera to life.

Antigone at the Megaron

Jessica is billed as assistant director for the Opera Antigone at the largest opera hall in Greece! A well known septegenarian politician writes an opera for the first time, hires Lee to to direct, casts a controversial bouzouki hall pop star as the lead, rents the largest opera hall in Greece, and calls up his buddies in the transportation system to plaster the city with posters for the show. Throw in a flock of dedicated masked dancers, live video feed and projections by Eamonn, and some of the most temperamental opera stars in the world, covered in gold make-up.

The Return hits Athens!

What we're doing. In Greek.
The Return returns to Athens for a five week run at the Roes Theater in Gazi.

Menagerie

Jessica travels to Durham, NC, where she collaborates in the first development of the Menagerie project. Lee Breuer directing, cast rounded out with Maude Mitchell, Greg Mehrten, Eamonn Farrell, Nic Novicki and Hannah Kritzeck. A lot of good productive theater/brain work. Built the framework of the vessel. A few more steps til it sails!
