Erin Saidah Lockett (she/her) is a multi-hyphenate theater artist and puppet maker with a background in acting, music, devising, and puppet building. Her roots in Oakland, CA shaped her love of unapologetically black subcultre and artistic experimentation. Erin believes that the future of theater depends on collective wisdom and the amplification of queer, autistic, trans, loud, punky, distasteful, balls to the wall, sensitive, and insanely big-hearted misfits. Her work seeks to investigate miracle making and irresistible revolution

 

As a theater artist and puppet maker, she has worked with the Brown Arts Institute, the Statera Foundation National Conference, Brown University, Trinity Repertory, Syracuse Stage, Ithaca College, The Kitchen Theater, and Heartbeat Ensemble. 

 

Erin holds an MFA from Brown University/ Trinity Repertory, a BFA from Ithaca College, and Certificate from Brown University Sheridan Teaching Program. She’s also attended LaMaMa Umbria’s International Symposium for Directors and arthaus.berlin’s International Summer School. 

She is currently developing an original project titled (now again).
