Jyl Lynn Felman crafts performances and writings that blend academic rigor with intimate, interactive theatre. Her approach prioritizes deep personal engagement, drawing audiences and students into the heart of her explorations. Through workshops and her scholarly work, Felman cultivates a unique space for creative expression, marked by its intense focus and experiential nature.
In telling the story of her own complex and ever-shifting familial ties, Felman (performance artist, writer, and professor of women's studies) reveals the evolution of her own obsessions and longings from those of a child in her family's kosher kitchen to those of an adult sampling her woman lover's shrimp recipe. Through her family stories, she offers a tale of the universal desire for love and connection. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
