Amy Woodruff is a Louisiana artist specializing in actor-created intermedia performance. She holds a BA in Theatre from McNeese University, and she is currently pursing an MFA at Goddard College's innovative low-residency Interdisciplinary Arts program in Vermont. Woodruff has trained with Dah Teatar of Serbia and Odin Teatret of Denmark, and from Shakespeare & Company of Massachusetts and Vortex Repertory Theatre of Austin, Texas. She created Theatre Louisiane, Inc. in New Orleans in 1999, an artistic laboratory where she has launched a variety of provocative, critically-acclaimed performance pieces.
Her works have been seen at New Orleans spaces such as the Louisiana Crafts Guild, the Voodoo Mystère, Zeitgeist, the Pickery, the State Palace Theatre, and the Dramarama festival at the Contemporary Arts Center. Woodruff has received artist grants from the Louisiana Division of The Arts and the Jazz & Heritage Foundation of New Orleans, and her projects are fiscally sponsored by the NYC artists' service organization Fractured Atlas.
Woodruff appeared as a Guest Artist in her multimedia stage adaptation of Lovecraft's "The Music of Erich Zann" at McNeese University Theatre, and she has toured solo work to the St-Ambroise Montréal Fringe Festival in Canada. She is also a member of Four Humours Theatre Company of New Orleans, and New Orleans magazine honored Woodruff and her collaborating artists from Theatre Louisiane as "People to Watch" in 2006. Her original mixed media solo work "Moon Cove" has been seen in Louisiana and in Vermont, and she appeared in the multi-state collaborative visual art/performance installation, the "Our Lady of Sorrows Project," which was presented in Vermont and Maine in 2009.
