Shanae Burch

Storyteller and Consultant in the United States

I am a digital & performance storyteller pursuing a doctorate in Health Education at Teachers College, Columbia University.

The goal of my life's work is to edify the conversations we have about wellbeing and activism.

As a previous member of the Bok Players, I served as an actor, facilitator, researcher, and content developer for the Applied Theatre Practice Program at Harvard University's Bok Center for Teaching & Learning. After volunteering my time in 2013-2015 as a research assistant and communication intern, I served as 2016-2017 Fellow for Community Conversations: Sister to Sister -- a black women's health initiative in Cambridge, MA.

Since graduating from Emerson College and Harvard Graduate School of Education, I've served as the Social Media Manager for WAM Theatre, and been able to create with organizations such as Lyric Stage Company, Bridge Rep, American Repertory Theater, Huntington Theater, Paradise Lost: A Movement Company, Fresh Ink Theater, Bad Habit Productions, and Israeli Stage.

I'm a proud member of Actor Equity Association (AEA), and was most recently seen performing in Lyric Stage Company's The Treasurer by Max Posner.

I live, work, run, and pray in New York City.
