I am a Theatre Maker: Director, Producer, Dramaturg, Performer, Deviser [in no particular order]. I am fascinated by the live interaction between audience and performer that occurs in all theatrical performances, and specialize in creating immersive events in non-tradition contexts, which put the audience’s sensual experience at the center of the project. I fervently believe that all art, particularly my own, must be relevant to the time, place, and audience for which it is created. I have a profound love and respect for the classics, but also find them to be some of the deadliest theater out there. I have a penchant for tearing them apart and gluing them back together with glitter, bodily fluids, and whatever else I can find around me at the time.
I have developed a large set of skills over the years, while wearing an even larger collection of "hats." I have created and produced interactive mysteries for two that spanned 2 days and 3 counties, city-wide festivals involving 200+ artists, and a touring pop-up travel agency to outer space staffed by literal astrophysicists, cosmologists, and even a theoretical mathematician. The use the collaborative and logistical tools I pick up along the way both when creating imaginary worlds from thin are and turning them into reality. Currently based in San Francisco, I have worked with a diverse array of pot-stirrers, and made $#!+ happen across the United States and England. |
