	Sean Devare Performer/Designer is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary theatre maker, designer, actor, musician, and educator. His devised performance pieces often adapt and reinterpret folklore, mythology and literature through his dual South and East Asian American diasporic lenses, and have been featured by Mabou Mines, HERE Arts, Dixon Place, Think!Chinatown, and KinoSaito. Sean’s work explores questions of multicultural inheritance and hybridization by using hand-crafted performance instruments and Asian artistic traditions, from mask-carving and shadow puppetry to Carnatic violin and physical/dance theatre techniques. He was a Suite/SPACE fellow at Mabou Mines for his solo show ‘First Violin,’ and as an artist-in-residence and visiting faculty at Williams College he co-directed ‘SHAKUNTALA: a remix,’ which featured his original puppet designs in immersive environments across three stages. Sean’s fabrication and design work has been featured Off Broadway and in regional theaters (incl. The Public, La MaMa ETC, Flint Rep). Founding member of Trinacria Theatre Company, Artistic Associate with Fault Line Theatre, and Associate Director with Kinding Sindaw.
