Elana Binysh
Collaborator Dramaturg Live ArtistI'm a collaborative maker working across experimental theatre and live art. I make solo live art and freelance as a contemporary dramaturg with a focus on sound and scenography. I also make work with my hybrid experimental collaboration Hot Cousin- we make live work to be watched online. I'm Disabled and this is a huge part of how and what I make- access is at the forefront of what I do. My pronouns are she/her.
