Brittney Harris is an Assistant Professor of Theatre in the Department of Communication and Theatre Arts at Old Dominion University. Her areas of expertise are in Race and Performance, Theatre for Social Change, and performative community-engaged programming: examining the concept of “race” as a celebration of self, culture and artistic expression.
Throughout VA, NC, GA, and DC, Brittney has created several community engagement-based theatre projects and conducted workshops on solo performance development and devised theatre. Currently, she is workshopping and touring her two solo performance projects, The Intersection: The Sandra Bland Project and Being B.A.D.; each project explores the adverse effects of violence in social media on the personal psyche and how narrative-based storytelling is used as a vessel for social resilience and redemption.
She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Acting from the University of Georgia.
