Project Description

Margaret Chase (http://www.onwavestreet.com/margaret-chase), is a performer, poet, and playwright, with a BFA from Boston University. She believes artists have a critical role in the positive evolution away from our country’s legacy of racial and social injustice. She belongs to the Socially Distant Art initiative (https://www.sociallydistantart.com/margaret-chase), and was interviewed by DisArt about disability and art amid Covid (https://www.disartnow.org/podcasts/episode-43-margaret-chase/). In 2020, NON:op open opera works, Silver Birch Press, NYSAI Press, Brooklyn Book Festival, and the new zine To Be Young (and Disabled), included her work. Margaret co-curated “Artists Undeterred” showcasing art and performances by 75 disabled artists in 2018, the same year her play “Pendulum” was produced at Manhattan Repertory Theatre. She’s now writing “Resurrecting Lady Dada,” a play for 3 women. Margaret relies on a cochlear implant and a hearing aid. She says “It’s good to be bionic!”
