DIRECTING

As a director, my artistic vision is deeply rooted in a commitment to fostering collaborative, community-based theatre that thrives on the principles of respect, consent, diversity, and a genuine love for theatre-making. I strive to create an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere that honors everyone’s unique perspective and set of experiences. My process-based approach encourages creativity and risk-taking when building the world of the play.

 

My work engages audiences through urgent storytelling that is experimental and playful while remaining rooted in the script and score. Movement and imagery ground my staging and I seek to create visually striking and emotionally resonant moments throughout the production.  Ensemble work lies at the heart of my directorial philosophy. I believe in the transformative power of a unified ensemble, where each performer's contribution is essential to the collective storytelling, elevating the production and its impact on the audience. I believe in the potential of theatre to challenge, transform, and bring joy to the communities in which it is created.
