About Antrak

When internal navigation fails, a lost ant resorts to traveling cross-country by “Antrak” train. This Studs-Terkel-Wannabe journeys into the unknown buoyed by the grandeur of American landscapes, the fleeting intimacy of conversations with strangers, and a deep desire to understand what is going on beyond the colony. Shayna Strype constructs this story through manipulated cardboard objects, puppetry, live feed projection, and footage from interviews conducted with Amtrak passengers across the US.

Featuring/Collaborators Miranda Nichols, Jordan Parker & Chris Willson

Shayna Strype is a theater-maker based in Brooklyn. She is currently developing a new piece through the Object Movement puppetry residency. Her original puppetry piece, Homegrown, was performed at the Bushwick Starr’s Puppets and Poets Festival in 2014 and 2015. Most recently, she has worked with David Neumann (Tough, The Tough: Redux), Trusty Sidekick Theater Company (We Are All Tourists) and The Civilians (The End and The Beginning, The Way They Live). Shayna received her MFA from Sarah Lawrence College. She currently teaches theater at Friends Seminary, where she received a Third Century Grant to make this show possible.
