Tanya White
I am a theater artist and teacher.
As a playwright, I begin stories with a moment, a turn of phrase, or conversations with ghosts of my lived experience. Driving my exploration as a writer is challenging a linear understanding of time often incorporating technology as both backdrop and character in the goings-on of the story. I am creating worlds at play with Eternalism--- a philosophical theory of time asserting that all points in time are equally real and exist simultaneously.
As an actor and teacher, I commit to the process of creating living and breathing moments in collaboration with great text. My teaching is grounded in immediate and truthful response. I believe instinct is the humanity an actor brings to a character.
I am fascinated by acting technique as living lineage. I am currently mapping the American acting landscape, tracing my own pedagogical journey while engaging with other teachers and text.
