About Me |
|
| Writer and multidisciplinary performer Holly Bass has presented her work at respected regional theaters and performance spaces such as Arena Stage (DC), Woolly Mammoth Theater (DC), the Athenaeum Theatre (Chicago), the Kennedy Center (DC), the Whitney Museum (NY) and the Experience Music Project (Seattle). Her poems have appeared in Callaloo, nocturnes (re)view, Cave Canem X and Role Call: A Generational Anthology of Social and Political Black Literature and Art (Third World Press). Jesse Jackson commissioned her to write a tribute poem for Maya Angelou, which she performed alongside the esteemed poet in Atlanta. As a freelance journalist (Washington Post, New York Newsday), she was the first writer to put the term "hip hop theater" into print in a 1999 article for American Theatre Magazine. Her essay on women in hip hop theater appears in the contemporary feminist anthology The Fire This Time: Young Activists and the New Feminism (Anchor Books, 2004). She studied modern dance (under Viola Farber) and creative writing at Sarah Lawrence College before earning a Master's in Journalism from Columbia University. | |
