About 

Experienced performer with a life-long love for storytelling and poetry.

​

Born in Boston, MA, to two musicians, Poornima grew up playing make-believe, reading, writing, creating. She fell in love with theatre as a space for revolution and reinvention,​ studied Drama at Vassar College, and began performing in classical and experimental theatre across New England.  She co-runs Theatre of Eternal Values - America, a meditative theatre company and New Muse Productions, which produces touring adaptations of classical texts.

​

As an artist, she values playfulness, depth, beauty and a spirit of exploration that asks: how do we spark transformation?
