Announcing Our Summer Artistic Programs and Development Fellows

Global Arts Corps is thrilled to announce our summer fellows who hail from around the world and bring a variety of interests and experience to the fellowship.

Sandrayati Fay has lived in Indonesia, the Philippines, and the United States. She studies Theatre Education with a focus on Performance and Directing and minors in Environmental Studies at Emerson College (class of 2016), where she saw a workshop performance of the Northern Irish play, Hold your tongue, Hold your dead and a work-in-progress screening of A Snake Gives Birth to a Snake, this past fall.

Katie Grindeland is from Massachusetts and is currently studying Theatre Education and Acting at Emerson College. During the residency of Hold your tongue, Hold your dead at ArtsEmerson, Katie was working as a Creative Producer in Training and assisted in audience outreach for the production’s workshop performances.

Lucia D’Onofrio, from Rome, Italy, has just completed her third year of undergraduate studies at New York University. She is majoring in International Relations and Economics. Lucia worked as an actress since she was nine until the end of high school, and while she has decided to take a break from being on stage when she moved to college, she is still constantly drawn back to this world.

Hallie Sekoff, originally from Berkeley, California graduated from Bard College in 2012 with a BA in Anthropology and Theater. For her senior thesis at Bard she had the privilege of engaging in conversations with home health caregivers who shared with her depictions of the work they carry out. From these interviews she wrote an ethnography that she adapted into a piece of theater. In the Fall she will attend Columbia University to pursue her MFA in Dramaturgy.

We are very excited about the addition of these four fellows to our office this Summer. Stay tuned for more updates!
