Playwright Heidi Kraay examines the connection between brain and body, seeking empathy with fractured characters. Writing across disciplines and training in diverse theater vocabularies gives her tools to live better making art. Plays include How To Hide Your Monster, New Eden, DIRT (co-devised), Me and My Shadow and Kilgore, as well as several one-acts and short plays. Her work has been presented in Boise, Idaho where she is currently based, as well as regionally and in NYC, most recently through Campfire Theatre Festival, 8 in 48 Idaho, Boise Contemporary Theater, id Theater, Seven Devils Playwrights Conference, the National Winter Playwrights Retreat, California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and HomeGrown Theatre. Heidi is a founding artistic associate for Migration Theory, a physical art company in Boise, for which she co-devised SuperSecretSiteSpecificSomething in 2015 and is working on their 2018 production of small matters. She teaches for the Theatre Arts Department at Boise State University and for The Cabin, a literary center in Boise. Heidi holds an MFA in Creative Inquiry, Interdisciplinary Arts from CIIS and is a member of the Dramatists Guild of America. www.heidikraay.com
