CALLA VIDET recently graduated from Harvard University magna cum laude in a special concentration combining physics and theater. During her time at Harvard, she directed, performed in, and worked on over 15 productions. Her final directorial project and senior thesis—The Space Between—premiered on the mainstage of the American Repertory Theater in April of 2009 and told the story of the making of the atomic bomb through the lens of the Orpheus myth. She is interested in all forms of theater, explorations of time in space, the magic of a rehearsal room—and is drawn particularly towards collaborative, interdisciplinary and devised work.
Calla has also directed productions of Moira Buffini’s Dinner, Complicite’s The Three Lives of Lucie Cabrol,Sarah Kane’s Blasted (ass. director) and Complicite’s Mnemonic. She is the recipient of Harvard’s Louis Sudler Prize for the Arts and an Artist Development Fellowship.
She resides in New York City but can also be found frequently in Bangkok—where her family lives—dodging motorcycles and trying to master all five tones.im
