ELENA MORRIS
Writer, editor, and dramaturg focusing on theatrical art and social justice.
About Me
Trained in physical theatre, acting, and dramaturgy, I take a multifaceted approach to my artistic practice. In my writing, I bring current events in the arts to the forefront, gravitating towards stories about equity and trailblazing artists. As a dramaturg, I help artists self-actualize their work in order to unveil the meaning that's at the heart of their ideas.
After growing up in New Jersey with a love for reading new and classic plays, I earned my BFA in Theatre Arts in 2018 at Boston University. Since then, I have embedded myself in the art scene of Boston, working first at New Repertory Theatre, and later at Company One Theatre. Currently, I work at the art service nonprofit ArtsBoston, where I curate editorial content and promote local arts events.
During the pandemic, I have been working on virtual theatre projects, getting through my reading list, trying to get back into learning languages, watching Contact and Moonstruck, and daydreaming about the Lofi-HipHop Radio Beats raccoon.
