McKayla Witt is An Actress. A Writer. A Dramaturg.
Her days begin with diatribes against colonialism, end with exultations on female rage, and she always makes time for tea.
Obsessed with warping, breaking, and redefining structure, McKayla’s work attempts to examine how we can begin to carve out new spaces for ourselves and each other in a world equally obsessed with keeping those same structures in place.
She is asking how we can be dragons and soft blankets and cunning foxes. She is asking how we can be old, and ancient, and modern, and new. She is asking how we can start to be all of this at once.
Soon she will be graduating from Boston University with a degree in both Theater Arts and Political Science—a two for one deal!—and will be off to dialogue with the next institution about our collective ability to care for our communities and each other. Until then she will probably be busy writing at a pace that makes her mentors worry about how much sleep she’s getting, organizing within her community, and baking short bread.
