THE ARTIST
Bazeed is a multi–award winning Egyptian immigrant, playwright, poet, performer, editor, curator, masticator, medical school dropout, massage therapist, and very decent cook, living in Brooklyn. An alliteration-leaning writer of prose, poetry, plays, and pantry lists, their work across genres has been published in print and online, and their plays performed on both sides of the Atlantic. To procrastinate from facing the blank page, Bazeed curates and runs a performance salon and open mic in Brooklyn, and is a slow student of Arabic music.
