Zebra Roll Call
A quick guide to the members of our Zebra Family:
Raised in Manhattan, co-Founder Chloë Bass moved to Bushwick in February 2007 and hasn’t really slept since then. She likes kittens and cooking. She doesn’t know which she likes better. Neither does she advise combining the two.
Chloë is a core organizer for Arts in Bushwick, a player for avant-garde theatre team ConLab, and the co-creator of Wikipedia Brown. Chloë’s work has been seen in and at: the NYC International Fringe Festival, the Artists of Tomorrow Festival, the Tank, New York Theatre Workshop, and all over her neighborhood. Everything she got in life, she got from her internship at the Wooster Group.
Co-Founder Drayton Hiers is a semi-itinerant vagabond (though strictly within the confines of New York City), plying his trade as a writer, director, designer and reluctant bicyclist. He speaks both American and European, and looks great in a dress.
He is the co-creator of Wikipedia Brown, Mercedes Lunara and Video Womb; co-founder of Blind Sight; a member of Not an Alternative; and has toured the US with The Suite Unraveling. His work has been seen nationally and internationally at such venues and festivals as Eyebeam, Flux Factory, Anthology Film Archives, the Tank, Break 2.4, Eyedrum and Heaven Gallery.
Resident Technical Director Lee Mandell is a photographer and sculptor. He also does set design, technical direction and stage managing for theater, puppetry and outdoor installation work, as well as being an urban farmer. He is also focusing on community relations work as artists enter new areas of the city. His day job is writing software for archives, museums and libraries. Random favorites are flamingos, hedrons, growing orchids, cats, anything kitschy and, of course, Bushwick.
