Bird Pope

Bird Pope is a Baltimore-based director and curator. She is passionate about midwifing new and devised works that push the bounds of how we tell stories. Her work explores the links between expectations placed on black bodies and the lived embodiment of refusal. A multiple-disciplinary artist, her mediums include poetry, photography, ceramics, and playwriting. Other credits include: Recipes for Community (Towson University) As You Like It ( Baltimore Center Stage), You,Too?: A Staged Reading (Maryland Ensemble Theatre), North Wind, (Baltimore Motor House), Variations on Vision (Rapid Lemon Productions), Who Killed John Doe? (Towson University). She feels most at home in the stacks of a library or wandering around the city with a camera.
