Scarlet (She/Her) is a Brooklyn-based Educator, Violence Designer, and Writer of Armenian & Iraqi heritage. With the help of the Historical African Martial Arts Association (HAMAA), she has dedicated a great deal of her time towards reconstructive swordplay in order to highlight the cultural and martial practices of Southwest Asia and North Africa in theatrical spaces, and begin dismantle the colonial narratives that have surrounded them for generations.

She is an advocate for compassion, easily accessible training, high-standards of community support/wellbeing, and making space for fellow BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ designers and performers to collaborate and bring their unique perspectives to the stories we tell. 

Her design specialties include historical weaponry and portrayals of modern violence. With a background in Anne Bogart's Theatrical Viewpoints and the Suzuki Method of Actor Training, her approach to the rehearsal process is based within pillars of theatrical intimacy design to cultivate an environment focused on consent, enthusiasm, and respect in order to bring the best versions of our visions to life for the audience.
