Creator, Writer and Director of STUFF
Q: Can you please introduce yourself?
I’m Kristina and I’m STUFF’s Creator (with the magnificent Youth Ensemble) and Director. I lead 100 Watt Productions, professional theatre built in collaboration with youth – theatre that questions our relationship with the planet and with one another.
Q: What does being a part of building and performing in STUFF mean to you?
Everything. Too big?
I get to build a story that’s led by the hearts and minds of a group of exuberant, vulnerable and thoughtful youth. We get to stand inside the reality of our times, and together reach into the possibly-impossible, then share with all generations what we come up with. I get to go to work and play. I am so lucky.
Q: What do you think of what the Teenage Task Force tries to do in 365 days?
It makes me gasp at their determination. And ache that they feel it’s up to them to do it.
Q: Before audiences see STUFF, what would you like to tell or ask them?
It’s all just stuff. Really.
Q: When the audience leaves STUFF, you hope they will–
Care. Love. Laugh. And dare to put take tangible action in front of comfort.
Q: What’s an object (stuff) that you think that humans should give up or let go of?
Noise enhancing mufflers & engines. Ego pollution.
Q: What’s an object (stuff) that would be very hard for you to give up?
The ring my aunt in Colombia gave me when I was a teenager. I have it on as I write this. You’d have to take my finger first.
