Lindsey Alterman is a New York-based Director and Dramaturg, and her emphasis is in the creation of Lyrical Theatre. These are pieces that turn emotion and meaning into something tangible, making the invisible visible. Her recurrent use of movement expresses themes and metaphor through repetition and mirroring, creating a sort of visual echo that spreads throughout an ensemble and creates one larger image and metaphor. These resonant moments form a heightened reality in which emotions are visceral, beautiful, and tragic. Lindsey is particularly interested in bringing choreography to straight plays - though she’s also an ardent lover of musicals - not as dance but as an indication of the internal becoming external. This technique, blended with minimalistic sets that can be molded and shaped by the cast, creates worlds that are as imaginative and immersive as the audience’s minds will allow. She believes emotion is universal, and in the theatre, we should experience that emotion universally.
