My Story

Alison Novelli is a Brooklyn based nonbinary actor, intimacy professional, and puppeteer. They light up when telling stories that thrill, inspire wonder, and ignite curiosity. From American classics like Little Women, to originating roles in new work like Wikimusical, Novelli delights in collaboration and exploring their full artistic range. As an intimacy professional, Novelli is dedicated to empowering artists and creating dynamic stories of intimacy for stage and screen. Their company Cheek to Cheek Intimacy excels at providing intimacy professional services, gender/sex consultancy, and decreasing stress in artistic spaces. Novelli is no stranger to telling grand and entertaining stories through exemplary puppetry as a company member of Little Did Productions. Be it shadow or hand/glove, rod or object, Novelli will always stick their hand up a puppet’s butt. When not spinning tales, Novelli advocates for bodily autonomy with mutual aid networks, cooks lavish meals, and attempts to close the many open tabs on their computer.
