Current Projects
DOTTIE
Writer, Story Creator, Executive Producer, Actor
Produced by Articine and adapted from Marcotte's award-winning solo mask play, Dottie is a short film about dementia and empathy.
This film and its associated educational curriculum are specifically designed as a professional development tool for healthcare professionals. "Dottie" is a powerful narrative that facilitates a deeper and more intimate understanding of how dementia impacts patients and their caregivers. Through researched storytelling and visually compelling scenes, the film demonstrates the challenging nuances of dementia's grasp on the aging mind and body while also honoring the beauty of personhood.
With a world-class cast, crew and production team (Berklee College Music, Boston Conservatory, Budapest Scoring Orchestra, Netflix, Amazon Prime), Dottie is sure to be a healthcare training session like you've never experienced before!
THE ANXIETY PIECE
Actor, Creator
The Anxiety Piece melds physical theater, dance, and comedy, to explore the universality of generalized anxiety in American culture. This one-act production follows the hilarious and moving journey of the Body and the Mind as each experiences and responds to daily life together and apart. Characters grapple with challenging emotions, sensations and thoughts in highly physical and often whimsical ways. Articine’s internationally award-winning artists, in collaborative partnerships with mental health professionals, have infused the work with strategies to support positive mental health and offer touching and healing moments for audiences to discover.
SHADOWS
Actor, Creator
Inspired by Neil Bousfield’s wordless novel of woodcut images, Shadows is a portrayal of a poor couple, working opposite shifts in the same factory, as they struggle through addiction and family crisis to find hope. They see that every decision is a choice, but finding the strength to break the cycle is the hardest choice of all. With its visceral, acrobatic movement and compelling story of strength, desire and loss, this one-act straddles the worlds of dance and theatre.
