Our Story.

I started Skene because I needed it to exist—not just for me, but for the makers, designers, and performers whose artistry and ideas often go unrecognized. Theatre is ephemeral, but its process, philosophy, and labor deserve to be remembered. Too often, actors are reduced to characters, designers become footnotes, and groundbreaking creative visions are lost in show reviews and press releases. I longed for a space where deep, thoughtful conversations about craft and process could thrive—not just a publication, but a community. SKENE.pub is that space: a living archive, a dialogue about performance in all its poetry and complexity, and a home for the voices shaping its future.
