Erin Saidah Lockett (she/her) is a multi-hyphenate theater artist and puppet maker with a steady practice of solo devising work, puppet making, and experimental research. Artistically, Erin believes in learning as a part of process and experimental community play. She aims to disrupt the traditional structure of theater making to include artists across art forms to be part of the conversation. Her work lives in systems of sensory play and seeks to investigate questions of autocannibalism (as depicted in the Ouroboros) and miracle making.

 

As a theater artist and puppet maker, she has worked with the Brown Arts Institute, the Statera Foundation National Conference, Brown University, Trinity Repertory, Syracuse Stage, Ithaca College, The Kitchen Theater, and Heartbeat Ensemble. 

 

Erin holds an MFA from Brown University/ Trinity Repertory, a BFA from Ithaca College, and Certificate from Brown University Sheridan Teaching Program. She’s also attended LaMaMa Umbria’s International Symposium for Directors and arthaus.berlin’s International Summer School. 

She is currently developing an original project titled HOODOO TIME.
