Lindsey Alterman is a New York based Director and Dramaturg. With a love for minimilistic and metaphorical staging, she strives to create pieces that emphasize the relatability of human anguish, viewing pain as the greatest equalizer. With an affinity for spectacle and the childlike sense of wonder elicited from reimagined stage magic, she seeks to spread a message of hope in in the face of despair. She believes humans possess a great capability to heal through pain, and with a particular devotion towards pieces centering on mental health, it is her greatest goal to leave her audiences with a cathartic sense of relief. With every piece she directs she intends to find light in the darkness, proving that all life has beauty in it and is therefore worth preserving. To Lindsey, there is no greater form of poetry than human existence.
