In the theatre, I am most passionate about devised work, progressive new works development, puppetry, and social and ecological justice. my original works investigate modern crises of faith, queer and trans life in america (in contrast with toxic american masculinities) using immersive performance and rituals rooted in grief practice and spacemaking for mourning together in public.
I am an educator at the Guggenheim Museum, a director, producer, and grants manager with Flying Leap Productions, a company puppeteer in Central Park’s Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre, and a producing and programs consultant to The Neighborhood in Brooklyn.
I have prevously been a resident artist in the inaugural cohort of the Social-Practice Insitute of the Greensboro Contemporary Jewish Museum, a resident artist at the Chautauqua Institution, the teaching artist in residence at the Philadelphia Museum of Jewish Art, a fellow in the evolution of Lincoln Center’s Director’s Lab West and Director’s Lab North, a fellow of the K’ilu lab in Chicago, and an alumna of The Drama League’s directing fellowship.
As a cultural educator, my focus lies in Judeo-American diasporic studies, monuments and memorial practices, and socially engaged art. Logan is the teaching artist in residence at Rodeph Shalom, specializing in Holocaust legacies. In 2022, I served as an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded adjunct theater faculty at New College of Florida prior to FL Gov. Ron DeSantis' hostile takeover of the school.

Mellon Foundation, the New College Foundation, and essentially, through tireless crowdfunding and the generosity of loved ones, friends, and patrons.
