About this Author
STEIN | HOLUM PROJECTS (SHP) is a collaboration between theatre artists Suli Holum and Deborah Stein. Drawing on over a decade of experience in both experimental and regional theater, SHP works with a core group of designers to create a unique hybrid of the highly visual and dexterously verbal; interdisciplinary physical theater with complex and nuanced characters. SHP builds theatrical events through experimentation, risk and exploration of the unknown. Collaborators generate raw materialthrough an improvisatory, interactive but rigorous process that is then refined through meticulous scripting, editing and revision.Chimera was developed with a HARP residency and premiered in 2012 at HERE as part of Under the Radar, where it was aNew York Times Critics' Pick and nominated for a Drama Desk Award.The Wholehearted premiered at ArtsEmerson in April 2014 and their next,Movers + Shakers, has been workshopped at New Dramatists, Clubbed Thumb, Playwrights' Horizons, and Berkeley Rep's Ground Floor. SHP was founded in 2009 and continues to workshop, tour, and premiere original works throughout the US and abroad.
