"Use Their Voices:" Elizabeth Dinkova, Director, Adaptor, Leader, and Educator


Listen Later

Elizabeth Dinkova is "an itinerant director, writer, and creator originally from Sandanski, Bulgaria." Her artistic ventures--as a student, director, adaptor, leader, and educator--have taken her from Oregon to DC, New Haven to Atlanta, back to DC, and more. Now the artistic director of Spooky Action Theater, Beth brings her bold theatricality, incisive thinking, and compassionate nature to classic plays, new works, operas, and more. She shares her thoughts on: balancing leadership and collaboration; the intersections of art and activism; the value, challenges, and opportunities of making art; making an artistic home for immigrant artists; new ways to connect DC theaters; and more.
