About Sabrina

Sabrina Peck is a well-known professional director and choreographer and has been a trailblazer in the field of community-engaged theater. She created CityStep while a Harvard student and has continued to support the student-run CityStep programs as executive director of the nonprofit CityStep.org.

As a director, Peck is known for co-creating and directing several works, including Threshold by Amy Brenneman, Jessica Litwak’s My Heart is in the East at LaMama Experimental Theater Club, Mouth Wide Open with Amy Brenneman at the American Repertory Theater and The Trestle at Pope Lick Creek by Naomi Wallace at the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts at Brooklyn College. Peck and playwright Chiori Miyagawa conceived and developed Antigone Project, a reimagining of Sophocles by contemporary women playwrights. Peck also directed Dawn Saito's Blood Cherries, Stephanie Fleischmann's Blue Hyacinths, Eloise and Ray for HBO's Stage to Screen Series, Lenora Champagne's Wants, and Amy Brenneman's Interstates.

Peck choreographed The Clean House at Lincoln Center Theater, written by Macarthur- winning playwright Sarah Ruhl. She has also choreographed works for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the New York Shakespeare Festival, Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C., and many inventive music-theater adaptations of classic plays for the Cornerstone Theater Company.

She has taught at Columbia University, Harvard University, Duke University, NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, with guest teaching positions at Bard College, Hunter College, and Lincoln Center. At Brooklyn College, she blended dance and activism through Community-Engaged Performance courses, and she also served as a mentor and coach for students at the Juilliard School and the Yale School of Drama. Her outreach includes speaking as a panelist at the Annual conference for the Association for Theater in Higher Education (ATHE): “Site-Specific Theater and the Transformation of Memory”; the NYC Arts in Education Face to Face conference; the IDEA festival at Dwight Englewood School; The Stage Directors and Choreographer’s Society symposium, Directing a New American Theater; and the Theater without Borders’ symposium, The Future of International Exchange.
