Radio Venceremos Project In collaboration with colleague Juan Parada, Laurel is developing a new play that dives into the guerrilla camps of 1980's El Salvador. The play tells the factual story of a handful of people who came together to create an underground rebel radio station in El Salvador, the explosive popularity of which led to mass resistance and dramatically altered the course of the war.
WE ARE ECHOES A solo performance piece in 4 chapters, currently in development. In each chapter, Laurel takes on one of Shakespeare's characters and utilizes text, movement, music, and painting/sculpting to explore and express each woman's interior life as they experience gain and loss of their sense of self through the gain and loss of loved ones.
Morning/Mourning A short film, self-written, directed, and performed. A young woman wakes up on the morning of her husband's funeral. Normal is the new strange, and the world is unsympathetic to the significance of this day in her life.
