I am a director, writer, facilitator, and world builder. I am committed to live and ephemeral theatre that gathers people in physical space + gifts them something Netflix doesn’t have to offer.

my directing is a practice of stewardship and hospitality amongst new worlds. I craft audience experiences that offer transcendence beyond day-to-day mundanity, connection with others in the age of loneliness, and nourishment: both spiritual and physical. (there’s always food.)

I center the body in all of my work and create multi-sensory environments where we may explore the very edges of the human form, through stories that map consciousness and stretch our capacity for feeling.

I breathe new life, complexity, transgression, and political resistance into old stories. I create portals to new worlds: futures and pasts, real and imagined. I unveil the invisibilized with radical imagination.

I write and devise new work—both individually and collaboratively—that collages original writing and found, adapted text. I mosaic narrative from fragmented parts.

I harness a precise, vivid economy of language to turn wild daydreams into tangible worlds, actionable stage pictures, and ethereal characters with accessible humanity.

I subvert reality and welcome the absurd by uniting human characters with mystics, oracles, aliens, swamp creatures, and puppets. I make strange and silly objects with my hands.

I wield a personal aesthetic of extremes to create spectacle, magic, and transformational action—elevating every play to become more than what it initially appears to be.

I gather teams of artists with an abundance mindset and inquire about their gifts, skills, + interests, shaping my vision for the final product to employ the best of what each collaborator has to offer.

I use a consent-based process to empower striking vulnerability, intimate connection, and courageously mitigated risk onstage and off.

I watch people and tell them what I see.

I lead others—whether they are interested in theatre or not—to use the tools of performance to find joy in their bodies, make meaning of their life + mortality, connect with others, and celebrate their form.
