Yael Rasooly performs
Shusterman Visiting Artist in Theater and Dance Yael Rasooly performs in January 2019 in the Austin Arts Center’s Goodwin Theater in the award-winning Paper Cut, her one-woman show that explores the daydreams of a lonely secretary.

Her residency at Trinity was supported by the Israeli Institute, which is dedicated to enhancing knowledge and study of modern Israel.
