“I am at heart a surrealist.”

My proposed plans for the fellowship year might sound strange—essentially I ask for the time to reinvent myself. I’m certain that I am a playwright and will always write plays, but there’s something more that I desire in my development as a theater artist. There’s another step that has nothing to do with writing another play and finding a production for it. The feeling I can describe only as an implicit understanding that my more recent ideas seem to be somehow not contained in a computer, on a page. They are messier, maybe they are bigger, and they make me want to get my hands dirty. —From Kira Obolensky’s BAF application
