Jean Zimmerman
Sylvia Sichel is an award-winning screenwriter and filmmaker who teaches at NYU Tisch. At Catwalk, she's excited to finish a presentable draft of her feature script I Wish I Had Me, a psychological thriller about a reclusive horror writer whose relief at sending her best friend on a book tour in her place turns to dread as the friend's dazzling turn as “the author” gathers momentum--and threatens to erase them both. Sylvia’s produced work includes HBO’s If These Walls Could Talk 2: 1972 and All Over Me, a Sundance premiere and Teddy Award winner at Berlin.

Cha Ramos
Cha Ramos (she/ella), a Drama Desk Award–winning fight director, intimacy director, dramaturg, playwright, and performer based in NYC, returns to Catwalk to begin work on sana sanatorio, a new multimedia performance exploring how women are “healed”—and often harmed—by medical systems. With an MFA from Columbia University and a practice grounded in visual poetry and movement, Cha’s work frequently engages themes of gender, sexuality, and violence. She previously drafted her one-woman show at Catwalk three years ago. Now, she draws inspiration from the region’s history of healing institutions as she develops this deeply personal piece following a recent hospitalization.
