Hi, I’m Nevan. I live in New York, where I make websites and occasionally write. I really like typography, just ask my friends, family, and therapist. About Me ›

The Person

The Person

Gallery Show, 2008

“The Person” was the culmination of a year-long project I worked on as a student of Dan Hurlin’s at Sarah Lawrence College.

I was exploring typography throughout the process, originally to make a performance piece. In the end, I had pieces that fit a gallery show better, so I prepared them and had the wonderful chance to show in the library on empty shelf space where the books were being rearranged.

Brick by Brick

Brick by Brick

by Ross Wade and Nehemiah Luckett
New Musical, 2006

I directed an involved staged reading of this new musical based on the life and writing of Edgar Allan Poe. Our production successfully persuaded the Theatre Department at Sarah Lawrence to mount a full production the following semester.

Midnight Cabaret

Midnight Cabaret

Weekly Performance Ensemble
Director, 2005

I started Midnight Cabaret in 2005 as a space for workshopping and experimenting with theatre, dance, music, and comedy at Sarah Lawrence College. We performed new work every Friday to a packed lecture hall. At the end of the first semester, I handed off the reigns, and the group has been performing every year since.

Currently

Ty Fujimura and I work on websites for some pretty groovy clients. Please feel free to say hi!

Right now we’re running the “Classically Forgotten” reading series to highlight oft-forgotten plays.

I’ve started to teach Wordpress classes, and am helping out with some new course development.

Gabe has been doing some pretty OK stuff, I guess. (Who’s Kanye West?) It’s Alaska! is still my favorite.
