kunafa & shay Theatre podcast

FEATURED ON HOWLROUND

Hosted by Nabra Nelson and Marina J. Bergenstock. Artistic identities can be complicated, and many theatremakers work equally within two or more disciplines simultaneously. The most interesting work is rarely created in a vacuum. These multidisciplinary artists create diverse projects in all senses of the word, broadening our idea of what theatre can and should be. In this episode of Kunafa & Shay, two such multihyphenate artists, Denmo Ibrahim and Sarah Fahmy converse about their multiple identities, how they reconcile and manage their myriad expertise and the role of multihyphenate artists in today’s theatre landscape.
