I was Artistic Director at The Brick from January 2020-September 2024, with a good deal of the curation from my tenure extending into 2025. I am incredibly proud to have collaborated with the varied communities of Brooklyn to pull The Brick through the hardest years of the pandemic, all while creating space for protestors and opportunities for artists. We even won an OBIE for our 2022-2023 seasons and opened Brick Aux.

The Brick will continue to be a home for a variety of creators, sincere weirdos, non-commercial generators, engaged communities and glorious messes. The hope has always been to keep it going as long as the team can do so responsibly, generously and untethered to corporate evil. I know the artists of NY want and need it.

A BRIEF HISTORY

I attended shows at The Brick upon moving to NY in 2004.

In 2010, Michael Gardner did a show at Incubator Arts Project directly before Title:Point’s FIELD 309.

In 2015, Title:Point presented their first production in the space – Never Odd Or Even.

In 2017, Title:Point presented their second production in the space – Chroma Key.

In 2018, Title:Point presented their third production in the space – Post:Death.

In 2019, Title:Point presented their fourth production in the space – Sleeping Car Porters.

In the midst of all these productions, me and Michael became friends, he invited me to join the curation team at The Brick, and The Exponential Festival started to curate productions for January performances starting in 2016.  

I also hosted a NYE birthday party for Brady Blevins and the wedding party of Dale Buchheister and Rachael Margolies at The Brick.  

In 2019, after much conversation, consideration, lease-signing, board-voting, etc – I began preparations to take over as Artistic Director on January 1, 2020.

I hosted ?!:New Works at The Brick in July 2019.

The Board of Directors voted in new members in September 2019.

Forest Entsminger, me and many friends renovated the space in December 2019.

NYE 2019/2020 marked the launch of the new look, new team, new vibe.

I was initially joined by Ryan William Downey, Travis Just, Harrison David Rivers, Yuki Kawahisa, Nicolas Norena, Teresa Braun, Justin Linville, Phil Hartman, Alyse Lamb in making some wild magic. As years/things progressed, Jack Woods, Devon Wade Granmo, Cameron Stuart, Lydia Mokdessi, Peter Mills Weiss, Ann Marie Dorr, Laia Comas, Toney Brown, Lauren Miller, Jess Almasy, Harriet Veltkamp, Robin Margolis, JP Faienza, Tommy Lynch, Rishita Chowdary, Harrison Epstein, Sam Kastor, Craig Carroll, Ethan Karas, Zara Carlton, Hannah Weisz, Oonagh Zelda, River Ramirez, Anabella Lenzu, Nadia Pinder and Matthew Antoci became massive collaborators, influences, curators, teachers and facilitators.
