As a director, actor, and costume designer, my focus is on creating work with one foot rooted firmly in the mythological and religious traditions of our past and one foot in an exploration of the modern processes and technologies of our time. The dichotomy in theatre between the ancient tradition of storytelling and the constant evolution of modernity is something that fascinates me. The dual human fixation on shedding our past and clinging to our roots is begging to be explored through theatre.

 

The work I aspire to create can be described as theatre of the grey, diving headlong into the twisting nether of situations where two opposing values conflict. Right and wrong are not always black and white. The creative works that inspire me as an artist all explore time, myth, the feminine experience and the complexities of human morality and I aspire to unify modern applications and traditional methods to tell my own stories unified around these themes. 

 

I am tormented by questions of the clashing values of the old and the new, the religious and the scientific, and I want to use theatre as a mirror to reflect that inner clash that lives among all of us back to audience members. The stories that leave us feeling unsettled and mercilessly questioning our own lives and moralities for weeks on end are the stories I feel called to create. My work is and will continue to be dedicated to challenging assumptions, upending convictions, and wreaking visceral honesty on audiences.
