Hello! My name is Gabrielle Sinclair Compton (she/they). (You can call me Gabby.) I'm a playwright, an interdisciplinary scholar-artist, and a college instructor living in Atlanta, GA.
A bit about me and what I do...
I write plays. My work includes THE RESOLUTE (Wyoming Theatre Festival, Jane Chambers Award Finalist), SHOWING (Ingram New Works, North Georgia New Play Festival), and THE BRIDE PROJECT (Austria tour). My sensory theatre play, THIS LITTLE LIGHT, was developed through a residency at Athica in Athens, GA, and supported by funding from the Institute for Women's and Gender Studies at UGA. As co-lead of THE RESTORATION PROJECT at Emory University, I'm co-developing an original queer cabaret with students through devised theatre practices. Check out images from my theatrical work HERE and HERE. You can also find my work at New Play Exchange.
I research performance. You can find my scholarly work in two upcoming anthologies: Performing the Edible: Sustenance, Sensation, and Sustainability (Routledge) and Women's Innovations in Theatre, Dance, and Performance: Vol. 1 (Methuen Drama). I'm serving as conference planner for ATHE's Disability, Theatre, and Performance Focus Group. And I co-created and am the devising dramaturg for THE MALADY MYSTERIES, an ongoing performance-as-research project that brings together the murder mystery genre and experiences in medical care, in partnership with UGA's Department of Theater, UGA's Institute for Women's and Gender Studies, and UGA's School of Medicine.
I teach. I've taught college courses in dramatic writing, theatre studies, mystery writing, monster studies, Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and undergraduate composition at places such as Kennesaw State University, Greensboro College, the University of Georgia, and Oxford College at Emory.
