Teresa Spencer has been making theatre in the Baltimore-Washington area as an actor, deviser, writer, and voice and dialect coach for over a decade. Heightened form is her jam: kinetic, iambic, devised, and dissident. She is a company member with the DC dance-music-theatre ensemble Taffety Punk Theatre Company, where she appeared most recently in the Riot Grrrls’ Othello and Antigonick & the Fragments of Sappho, and a resident artist with Cincinnati-based multimedia arts company Walterhoope, which recently released The Velveteen Rabbit, a complete audio play and puppetry experience for children at home, adapted by Teresa from the original story by Margery Williams. Teresa’s ensemble performance and devising work has been nominated for three Helen Hayes Awards.
