Ash works at the intersection of documentary/nonfiction theatre, journalism, and visual storytelling and is committed to collaborative/community-devised storytelling and expanding historical archives. As a queer woman raised by a paraplegic single mother, she is committed to telling stories that investigate multiple, intersecting identities and to making work that elicits political action while also evoking a deep sense of compassion and justice. She has worked on theatre/visual storytelling projects in Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Taiwan, Thailand, Syria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, focusing on youth activism, culture workers in places/times of conflict, class warfare, addiction, sexuality, patriotism, illness, and grief. She sees each storytelling project as a collaboration, and the relationships developed with collaborators lie at the heart of her practice.

As a documentary photographer and photojournalist, Ash's work appeared in Time Out NY, NY Daily News, The Huffington Post, The Advocate, The Indypendent, Our Town NY, Huffington Post, The Signal House Edition, Arab Stages, Performance Research, HowlRound Theatre Commons, About Performance, Anthropology News, and other publications.
