Lawrence Dreyfuss (He/Him) is a performance artist and company member of Theater in Asylum and The Poetry Brothel. His work - a fusion of his years working off-broadway, performing slam poetry, and a love of ecstatic dance - is high energy and constantly blurring the line between audience and performer.

 

Anna Genevieve Winham is the Editor-in-Chief of Passengers Journal and the Journal Coordinator for Oxford Public Philosophy. She also performs with The Poetry Brothel and writes grants for the Poetry Society of New York. She writes at the crossroads of science and the sublime, cyborgs and the surreal.
