Presented in March as part of this year’s festival of directing theses, Birthday Triage is an interactive, multimedia performance in which the audience accompanies four characters on their personal journeys as their birthday worlds collapse and unveil their mythological dna. Four plays weave in and out of each other like dna strands as audience members glimpse into the shattered pieces of the characters’ lives. March 7–10, 2012 Horace Mann Theatre Broadway between 120th and 121st streets 12 Birthday Triage New Plays Now Naïma KriSTEl PHilliPS To Naïma, theatre is about shaking the ground, making vibrations and being awed. It’s about portraying human existence, with equality among cultures, ethnicities and faiths. It’s about our sufferings and rejoicings, fantasies and fears. It’s about our need to be together… brief moments that last forever. by naïma Kristel PhilliPs — Directed by simón aDinia hanuKai Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Naïma Kristel Phillips studied classical ballet before training as a performance artist at the Centre International des Arts de la Scène. She then moved to Paris for two years to practice voice performance and choreographic theatre with Enrique Pardo, Linda Wise, and the late Elizabeth Mayer at Pantheatre ACTS and the Roy Hart International Centre (Cévennes, France). Her playwriting credits include a main-stage production of her full-length Night Spell (Nextfest, Edmonton, Alberta) and My Artichoke Heart, a devised play (Dream Up Festival, Theater for the New City). Projects at Columbia include an anti-reading, installation of Time Suites: Camille and Rodin, and workshop presentations of 6 Variations in a Single Flutter, Murder of the Oak/ Reed and a reading of There Hangs the Knife. Naïma is currently writing a play for young audiences commissioned by the Black Theatre Workshop (Montreal, Quebec). She is a recipient of the 2010 Gloria Mitchell- Aleong Award and the Shubert Presidential Fellowship. Naïma is grateful to all those who made it possible for her to be here and feels honored to have been surrounded by such a thriving community of artists.
