The New York Neo-Futurists
The Infinite Wrench
Theater as a mixture of poetry, sport, and living newspaper
Each week, we unveil new plays that speak to our current moment, both personally and societally. As Technical Director for the company, I have expanded our capacities to tell audio-visual stories, and as a collaborator, I have told important, moving, and downright goofy stories. This show is foundational to the rest of my work; it is immediate, raw, beautiful, tangible, queer, vulnerable, confident, exciting, messy, and perfect.
The best way to understand the show is to see it - every Friday and Saturday night in NYC’s West Village

In 2020, Julia Melfi and I created the Neo-Futurists’ podcast, hoping to continue our unceasing way of making timely, personal art.
Each episode tackles a Neo-Futurists’ attempt to accomplish an “impossible task”. From speaking with ghosts to joining the NBA, these poetic explorations of the impossible bring us intimately close with the Neo-Futurist’s desires and comical ponderings.
Prior to 2023, the format of the show featured three to six new audio experiments per episode, seeking to make a unique aural connection about the current moment.
As producer/sound designer, I craft each episode with musical scoring and intricate soundscaping to thread together the impossible attempts and disparate explorations.

In 2020-2021, while we paused our weekly live shows, The New York Neo-Futurists presented a monthly live-streamed show of digital experiments, embracing the chaos, video medium, and immediate global interactions beyond found online. As the lead producer of CyberWrench, I established our streaming platform, coordinated and created video work, designed all graphics, and composed the music for the show. It was a unique way of gathering in an isolated time, with rich connections established with those in our community.
