Brooke Shilling

Brooke Shilling is a good ‘ol misfit who leans in to the unexpected, empowers the unpredictable, and tickles the lines between the reverent and irreverent. She devises physical, childlike, and provocative theatrical performances that invite her audiences to dream, to hope, to grieve, and to rile up the bonafide goofballs inside us all. ​

Born and raised in New York City, Brooke is a theatre artist, theatre educator, and clown. She has collaborated with companies such as One Year Lease Theater Company, Theater Unspeakable, inFLUX Theatre Collective, The Lemonade Stand, Theatre Ariel, Arden Theatre Company, and more. She has facilitated workshops and taught as a visiting artist at the University of the Arts, Arcadia University, Theatre Horizon, One Year Lease Theater Company’s International Program in Greece, Japan and India, performing arts high schools, and more, working with both theatre makers and non-theatre makers, the elderly, autistic youth and young adults, incarcerated young people, medical and business students, and others.
