New York Magazine's cultural offshoot, Vulture, has named WHEN THE HURLY BURLY'S DONE as #4 in its top ten list of theater pieces for the year. See HERE for the full list by Sara Holdren and Jackson McHenry. 

Choreography Debut @ The Public Theater
WHEN THE HURLY BURLY'S DONE, a new play by Richard Nelson, transferred from the Theater on Pondil in Kiyv to the Public Theater in NYC. Charlotte choreographed dances that were performed throughout the play and were inspired by the work of Bronislave Nijinska. 

Residency at Baryshnikov Arts Center
Charlotte began developing a new dance theater piece along playwright Diana Ly. Entitled BODIES, BONES, BLOOD, the piece follows the journey of four female-identifying archeologists living in a near-future dystopia. Each night, the women are haunted by the spirits and memories they are digging up. Eventually, they discover an otherworldly escape route, which leads to fissures in the group as they must decide if it’s better to stay in their reality, or leap into the unknown.

Assistant Director on All's Well That Ends Well @ The Old Globe
Charlotte assisted Peter Francis James on the first production of the 2025 Summer Festival Season at Old Globe in San Diego. 

Industry Presentation of BALDWIN et LUCIEN
Charlotte played the role of La Garce in the recent industry reading of this new play by R. Jahan. at New York City Center. 

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

IMPROV FOR ACTORS @ HB Studio
Ten-week course in person at HB Studio. Thursdays from 6-8:30pm. Pre-registration required at the beginning of each new semester. 
Click HERE for full details. 
In this course, you will learn how to use improvisation to foster creativity, authenticity and deeper connections in your acting work. We will be looking at ways that improv is directly applicable to and used in the craft of acting; whether it be in the context of an audition, or in rehearsal with a director that likes to work with improvised exercises to build out backstory and to generate blocking. You will gain the necessary tools to structure viable improvisations (with emphasis on circumstances, relationships, tension, and subtext) that you can then use to prepare characters, monologues, scenes and audition material. Actors of all levels are welcome.
