Cha the Writer
I write in resonances and in communion. I write with love and humor and violence and intimacy.
I write from listening deeply to history and experience. I write to dance and sing and pray and play.
Highlights
Uña y Carne, co-created with Matthew Minnicino, a short film about queer love and the meaning of freedom (developed in part at the Catwalk Art Residency)
Like to the Gods, a play about family, war, and legacy
sana sanatorio, a novella about womens' health and madness (developed in part at the Catwalk Art Residency)
Fire Burn Them, a play about feminine rage and brujeria (finalist for the Roundabout @ Columbia New Play Reading Series)
Tula, a one-woman eulogy for sapphic ancestors (developed in part at the Catwalk Art Residency as well as DQT American Woman)
"You're careful with words in a way that doesn't neutralize you. It intensifies you."
-Leslie Ayazian, playwright
From Fire Burn Them reading at Riverside Church
