WE ARE STORY ARTISTS
The studio is run by Neurodivergent Woman Artist, Elizabeth Seldin, who is dedicated to creating safe, healthy and uplifting space for everyone to explore the art of play through:
THEATER
FILM
DANCE
MOVEMENT
MUSIC
AND
ARTISTIC COLLABORATION
This means we offer classes to develop skills and connect community members, create original productions to share and collaborate with local artists on projects.
It is less about what we do and more about how we do it.
We are focused on healthy collaborative practices that allow for cultivating not only play and joy but curiosity, confidence and connection.
About elizabeth
Born and raised in Ithaca, NY Elizabeth has had a passion for theater and team sports since before she can remember. She grew up at The Hangar Theatre in the Next Generation Theater program and spent her free time playing baseball in little league. Her joy for collaboration and teamwork along with creative movement and storytelling followed her into adulthood where she began teaching theater, dance, and yoga and began working professionally both internationally and locally in the theater arts. She is a produced playwright and has performed both in theater and film. As a neurodivergent artist she is passionate about cultivating safe spaces and healthy communication as we learn about ourselves, each other and endeavor to make the world a better place through the pure act of play.

REVIEWS AND ARTICLES
eT LE LION OFF BROADWAY REVIEW
“Et Le Lion” touched me in an unexpected way. Ms. Seldin’s acute observations of the human condition were transformative. She has a gift, not only of magic, but also of words. Her prose, poetry, music and aura were bewitching. "
wHAT HAUNTS YOU PREVIEW - ITHACA TIMES
“There’s a seductive quality of haunted spaces,” Seldin continues. “Something happened there—behind the curtain—something unseen that wants to be seen.”
