Hi! My name is Clarissa and I’m currently based in Manhattan. I’m first an actor but love to read and write anything from a Wikipedia bio to an epic poem or a short play. I was born and raised in South Florida to Venezuelan parents whose traditions and reverence for the natural world has colored most of the work I hope to create and have been a part of; the tiny two bedroom apartment in my heart houses both a little Jewish mystic and an adoration for the pure magic shown to me by the storytelling of those come before me. As Samuel Beckett says, “Words Are All We Have” — join me as I try to bring life to those words who have made me what I am.
