Kyna Hamill received her PhD in Theatre History from Tufts University and she is currently the Director of Boston University’s Arts & Sciences Core Curriculum and a Master Lecturer. She works on the intersection of visual culture and theatre and has published essays on fencing history, baroque stage properties, and Jacques Callot’s theatrical prints. An upcoming chapter in “The Senses in Medieval and Renaissance Europe” (Brepols) is entitled “Telescopes and Omnipotent Views in Jacques Callot’s La Fiera dell’Impruneta.” Hamill’s work at MAP will focus on the formative years that Callot spent in Florence between 1612-21 under patronage of Cosimo II. Her research here is part of a broader book project on Callot’s influence on the historiography of the commedia dell’arte tradition.
