Michael Levi Harris

Actor / Writer

Michael Levi Harris is an actor and writer who loves languages. Having grown up in a suburb of New York City just before the takeover of the world by the internet and smart devices, he can still read a map, write in cursive, and be alone with his thoughts for at least a few minutes – yet he can indeed also text with his thumbs, which he does, and take selfies, which he avoids, and use social media, which he avoids even more. His detailed knowledge of geography and solid competency in history make him an excellent member of any pub quiz team. He prefers anything made from scratch over anything not made from scratch, and if he could create an alternate universe, it would be one in which every person who might want to could live on a fruit-and-vegetable farm in an exciting, bustling, automobile-less, multicultural metropolis.

    A storyteller is a person who brings currency to the legacy of the past, to the ideas of the present, and to the dreams of the future. It can be one person using one instrument - a voice, a pen, a set of hands - or an extensive collaboration of individuals, each dedicating his creative gifts - a way with words, with fabrics, with lenses, with emotions, with music, with painting, with designing - to bring that legacy, idea or dream to life for other people to experience.
