Emerie is a NYC-based interdisciplinary theatre creator of new performance work in unconventional forms and places.
She likes thinking about things like mirrors, maps, memories, animals, paintings, layers, language, opposites, tiny objects, and big questions. Her art makes connections between those many things–in the form of ephemeral live performances that bridge theatre, visual art, and shared space.
In addition to dream/home, other devised works include a museum tour led by a vintage Fisher Price tape player, a surrealist immersive installation performance, an absurdist online variety show, a site-specific audio-theatrical walking experience, and performances in a community garden.

Lina is a Palestinian Lebanese visual designer in theater, film, animation, and installations, and is based between Dubai and NYC. She creates worlds with one eye shut and an index finger as her wand.
While studying for her MFA in Design from NYU/Tisch, she enjoyed controlling traffic, mapping the skies, imagining the birds and inhabitants of the worlds in plays, dances, operas, and films. She has explored puppetry and stop-motion animation in the Gulf, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South America.
Lina’s work is about freezing moments, replaying them, changing scenarios, playing out consequences, and then repeating. Impossible things happen in an instant; objects vanish, come to life, and are set off again. In motion.
Lina is an imagineer with a great love and a great weakness: soap bubbles.
