Wounds to the Face by Howard Barker is one of my favorite plays that I performed in directed by my friend, Frances Hearn. It's a complex, poetic piece that explores the meaning we give to our faces and the identity that we get from them. We had an all female cast comprised of my fellow class mates from CalArts each playing multiple roles. I played a dictator and a soldier. Here are some of the beautiful images we created.
