Text study classes and creative writing classes with Kendell Pinkney
Kendell Pinkney is Brooklyn-based theatre maker, Jewish educator, and rabbinical student at the Jewish Theological Seminary. A graduate of Oberlin College and New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, his collaborative theatre works and songs have been performed at venues such as 54 Below, LABA @ the 14th Street Y, The 52nd Street Project, and Joe’s Pub, to name a few. Kendell is a Wexner Graduate Fellow/Davidson Scholar, and ultimately hopes to use his rabbinate, theatre training, and academic interests, to teach, make art, and create programs that will both engage artists and non-artists in seriously playful, Jewish text-study.
