Gabriela Furtado Coutinho is a writer, actor, director, cultural strategist, and proud graduate of Northwestern University (Theatre/English Creative Writing BA). In addition to now guest lecturing at Northwestern University, she serves as digital editor of TCG’s American Theatre magazine. Grateful for previous work with The Kennedy Center, Emmy's/Television Academy, and various Chicago collectives, she holds experience in developing both new work and tangible care practices.

 

Favorite projects include Blood Wedding (actor), The Bloody Bricks and Blows of American Dream High (playwright), and Much Ado About Nothing: A Miami Party to Joy (director). She loves reimagining classics, embodying power roles, taking lyrical creative risks, and dreaming up kinder futurisms with friends whose language is laughter. She brings her warm Brazilian and Gen-Z sensibilities to her work, creating across three native languages.
