About

Hello! I am Asa Graham-Lowengard (he/him), a multidisciplinary artist based in Boston.
Most of my professional experience lies in the acting and theatre sphere—previous roles include two seasons as Zax/Kat, et al. in the Lyric Back Stage education program (The Lyric Stage Company of Boston, 2023-2024), H in the premier production of H & G, A GREAT AND TERRIBLE STORY, featuring a libretto by Anna Maria Hong and Jean Randich, music by Allen Shawn, and projections by Sue Rees (Bennington College, 2022), one of the Torah Children in SALT OFF A BIRD'S TAIL by Ruby Lee Lowenstein (Bennington College, 2021), and the Telegraph Boy in THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH by Thornton Wilder (VoiceTheatre, 2017). In 2013, I appeared as Courtney in the web series PIRATE BIRTHDAY PARTY, written and directed by Peter Ferland. I have a longstanding relationship with new and experimental theatre, and am often a collaborator on in-process, ensemble-driven, partially devised, and/or interdisciplinary works. Many of the projects I have been involved in have amalgamated theatre with music, creative movement and dance, puppetry, mask, literary adaptation, audience immersion, and/or video—I love exploring and uplifting all art forms through my work as an actor! I have also worked for several arts organizations in various non-acting capacities (among them: Puppet Showplace Theater, INTAR Theatre, VoiceTheatre), where my responsibilities have included everything from stagehanding to grantwriting to mask-making, which has contributed to my holistic view of performance that holds awareness and takes responsibility for the theatre-making process as a whole. Aside from theatre, I am a singer/songwriter under the moniker a grim dragonwel. I recently self-produced a concept EP/lyric video, My Cassette, inspired by and partially recorded on my beloved childhood tape recorder. My album-in-progress, The Year of Bad Art, is being rolled out on a monthly basis and can be listened to in its incomplete form on my bandcamp page, or you can check out the music videos for some of the songs on my YouTube channel. I also create miscellaneous visual art every now and then, including costume and mask, amateur photography, painting, and drawing. I am a graduate of Bennington College, where I studied drama and the liberal arts with a focus on acting and theatre creation. |
