LIZA CASSIDY is a visual and performing artist who lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two children. She paints in her Gowanus studio in Brooklyn, and has worked and performed with Theaterlab since 2005. She has also performed with The Living Theatre, Spoke The Hub, and The Actors Theater. Before moving to NYC she toured New England and Russia with Patricia Wilson's Zia Dance Company.  In all of her years of performing and creating she has discovered that art cannot be fully realized until it is given, and is the only means we have (be it spoken word, music, movement or image) to communicate ourselves to one another.  She feels especially dedicated  to the work at Theaterlab as it grows to preserve the integrity and the vitality of this gift.
