JULIE NELSON* |
THE FAIRY QUEEN
Julie Nelson has acted Off Broadway and in regional theater, recently playing Grace in Vigil at Portland Stage Company in Portland, Maine; and Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Mrs. Gardiner in Pride and Prejudice at Playmakers Repertory Company in Chapel Hill, NC.
As a founding member of Shakespeare & Company, she worked and trained extensively as an actor in main stage productions, on the faculty of their month-long workshops, and as a teaching artist in schools. Her study there of theatrical clown with teacher, Merry Conway, continues to inform her work as an actor and teacher, and prompted her to further study with Philippe Gaulier, Bill Irwin and Jacques Lecoq, among others.
A long-standing member of the faculty in the Department of Theater at UMass, Amherst, she was a Teaching Artist for Lincoln Center Institute and, at the invitation of the National Arts Center of El Salvador and the U.S. State Department, taught a workshop in the actor-training program there.
A proponent of new plays and a resident of the town of Amherst, Julie is delighted to be part of The Emily Dickinson Project.
