layan loves list making, and using the term multi-hyphenate to describe herself.

​

her work as an actor has been seen on broadway, national tour,  regionally, and on television.

she gravitates towards new work, and maintaining long-time collaborators.

​

as a solo performer, her work explores the palestinian diaspora, neurodivergence, mental illness, and trapping white american playwrights named david in a room. most recently, her solo show ten days ago was in development at the brown arts institute, where she is a two-time artist grant recipient.

​

she is a graduate of the brown/trinity rep MFA program.

​

besides acting and solo performance, she can usually be found reading, writing, and being outside.  otherwise, you can find her hyperfixating on somatics and polyvagal theory tik tok, and believing she can teach herself to do anything with a youtube video.

​

she lives in new york city.
