Faith Zamblé is a writer, dramaturg, and interdisciplinary artist originally from Waukegan, IL. She is interested in the connection between Blackness, culture creation and community building, as well as the various processes that transmute theory into praxis (and back!). Her own practice is one of heart-centered exploration that manifests in essays and collaborative projects. In simpler terms, she is a human being in process, remembering to laugh and always trying to return to center. Her most recent credits include Choirboy at Yale Rep (assistant director) and In the Southern Breeze at Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre (co-dramaturg).
