Megan Campisi joined Marquis Studios in 2009. She received her B.A.
from Yale in theater and graduate training from L’Ecole Jacques Lecoq
in France. From 2001 to 2006 Megan lived in Paris where she divided
her time between creating and performing her own work (including “Les
Musiciens de Brême”, a found object puppet show and winner of the ALFA
and Adami awards at the Avignon Festival 2006) and teaching theater in
French public schools. She studied commedia dell’arte with Antonio
Fava, puppetry with Philippe Genty and Shakespeare at RADA. Her most
recent creation is “Floating Brothel”, based on historical accounts of
female convicts transported from London to the penal colony in what
would become Australia in the 1780’s. “Floating Brothel” was part of
the Shanghai international Contemporary Theatre Festival in November
2009 and will be touring to Seoul, Korea in 2011. For the past six
years Megan has taught annual theater workshops in international
schools in China, Japan and India and for the East Asia Regional
Council of Overseas Schools (EARCOS) in China and the Philippines.
