UPCOMING: Even the Earth Is Dizzy & Pericles
This summer, Brock is so excited to be in San Francisco Shakespeare Festival's Free Shakes production of Pericles! She is understudying Dionyza and playing a Lord, Knight, and Attendant through the quest. Then, she heads back to New York to start principal photography for the feature film, Even the Earth Is Dizzy!
Death Death
PROOF-OF-CONCEPT SHORT
2021
company: BraveMouse LLC
role: FRANNIE / Production Assistant
project status: post production
Thankfully, the car caught on fire AFTER we finished shooting.
Brock was honored to play Frannie in Death Death, a proof-of-concept short, written by Marissa Ruben and produced by Avery Looser with BraveMouse LLC. In this short and ultimately the feature, two estranged sisters reunite for Mother's Day and must fulfill their late mother's dying wish: to reenact the plot of an 80s cult classic. Venturing to Michigan to film with her favorite people - Marissa, Avery, and Jack Seibert - made this one of Brock's most fulfilling projects in her life. She is very proud to be a part of it and cannot wait for everyone to see it! The team is now working diligently on post-production. Coming soon!!
The Secret Garden (play)
REGIONAL THEATRE
2021
Brock stepped back onto a real stage for the first time in over a year with Annapolis Shakespeare Company's world premiere of The Secret Garden adapted as a play. She was delighted to play Susan Sowerby, Nurse, Mrs. Lennox, and Mrs. Crawford. The company filmed the play without an audience, and it will stream in July.
Sisters of the Cloth
FEATURE FILM
2021
This coming-of-age indie feature film follows a young Muslim woman, Nadeera, as she navigates her familial values, young love, and a Catholic basketball team. In a story of love and acceptance, Brock, of course, plays the unaccepting and closed-minded villain. But, Brock always loves filling this role in service of a powerful story, which she believes this is. The Brooklyn-based team has officially wrapped principal photography, so stay tuned for more info coming soon!
Graduating from NYU Tisch!
TRAINING
2021
Even though Brock officially finished NYU Tisch a semester early in December of 2020, she finally celebrated her graduation this spring with the rest of her class of 2021 after completing her Honors Thesis! Brock earned her BFA in Drama from NYU Tisch School of the Arts, graduating on the Dean's List and with Honors in Theatre Studies. For two and a half years, she studied musical theatre, contemporary acting, and classical acting in the New Studio on Broadway, and then she studied acting for film and television in Stonestreet Studios for a year. In her tenure at Tisch, her studio training also included voice, speech, dance, singing, clown, and mask. Brock is immensely thankful for all the friends, mentors, and lifetime collaborators she met while attending the school she had dreamed about since she was eight.
Honors Thesis
THEATRE STUDIES
2021
Brock's thirty page Honors Thesis is entitled “Shakespeare’s Societal Others: An Exploration of Race, Religion, Sexuality, and Gender in The Merchant of Venice and Othello." As the title explains, she examines some of Shakespeare's most compelling and complex characters like Shylock, Antonio, Othello, Katherine, Caliban, and Ariel, and the societies they inhabit, culminating in a look at what makes an outsider and what does Shakespeare say about them. Completing this thesis allows her to graduate with Honors in Theatre Studies!
1/1
MINI-SERIES
2021
Brock is currently writing, co-directing, and starring in a mini-series she created called 1/1, which examines stereotypes of women. Each episode focuses on a different woman, highlighting the parts of her day when she is alone. That way, we see who she really is when no one else is around, and then witness how social standards, social media, and social interactions distort her solitary truth. Please email Brock for a private link to stream the first episode, "TAYLOR: your spin instructor."
Don't Say Vagina! is an official selection for Toronto International Women Film Festival, Venice Shorts, Athens International Monthly Art Film Festival, Kalakari Film Festival, Fusion Film Festival, and continuing the 2021 festival circuit!
Brock was honored to play Emma in this short produced by BraveMouse LLC and developed as a part of The Nine Muses Lab at Nine Muses Entertainment. Based on an unfortunately true story, Don't Say Vagina! explores female pleasure and female empowerment through a session of Camp Court at Camp Bosha. Emma is a peace-sign-loving, best-friend-obsessed twelve year old who Brock cannot wait for you to meet after DSV! completes the 2021 festival circuit. For more information, check out the DSV! Instagram.
