Eryn is a director, actor, dancer, and photographer who grew up in the heart of Northeastern Wisconsin. Surrounded by a city full of art, she has always gravitated towards using theatre as a means of advocacy and understanding. Eryn is now continuing her artistic journey as she pursues a B.F.A. in Directing at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where she hopes to express different ways people experience life and examine what it means to be human.
She is passionate about using her art to advocate for her beliefs. Eryn uses her work to inspire change by acknowledging the vast complexity of human nature and exploring how life is never black and white. Art is Eryn’s world, and she is forever thrilled to share her creations and dig into sincere and necessary stories.
Thus far, at UNCSA, she has had the opportunity to explore a wide selection of works, including her past Director’s Festival pieces Blackbird by David Harrower and The Children’s Hour by Lillian Hellman. This semester, she will be directing an excerpt from Hansol Jung’s Wolf Play, a story that wrestles with the question “What does it mean to be family?” and illuminates how our prejudices harm the people we care about most.
