Meet Jamie

Jamie Lazan is a creative producer, visionary and interdisciplinary artist passionate about community-building and bringing to life stories that foster empathy and light to people’s souls. She studied with Stella Adler Studio of Acting curating devised theatre and original work as director, choreographer, writer, producer, and performer. She further studied film and Human Services at SUNY New Paltz, and has a background in expressive arts trauma and resilience work. She is passionate about bridging the worlds of community, healing and art-making together to create deeper connection, PLAY, love, and joy. 

Jamie founded The Human Arts Collective with the belief that “through our artistic expression, storytelling, and creative gifts, we can cultivate meaningful transformation and resonance.” To share select meaningful arts-based highlights: Jamie has produced a multimedia gallery and arts festival, taught film and theatre at French Woods Festival, directed a virtually-crafted, experimental short, “Returning Home”, awarded by the City Artist Corp Grant and Queens Museum for her evocative and interdisciplinary art focus. Jamie also was awarded for her poetry by The New York Browning Society, leading her to write and produce her short film, “When Will The Chameleon Speak.” She has been featured as a Creative Changemaker in Formidable Women’s Magazine. While these have all been incredibly meaningful to her, she finds the most meaning in the connections she makes with people from around the world. 

She is grateful and excited to lead forth the mission that is The Human Arts Collective.
