As an artist…
With training and experience as a devising artist, immersive performer, intimacy choreographer, and director, I blend these lenses to craft dynamic and evocative storytelling.
Recent professional collaborations include works with Geffen Playhouse, La Mirada Theatre, and Pasadena Playhouse in Los Angeles; the Tank and Sinking Ship Creations in New York. I also continuously devise performance activism projects built to fuel community engagement and dialogue.
I am also a Guiding Faculty for Theatrical Intimacy Education, one of the first organizations dedicated to training theatre professionals in best practices for staging intimacy. As well as choreographing intimacy for professional productions, I have led workshops training theatre artists and educators across the US, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
As an educator…
Having spent over a decade teaching theatre in K-12 settings and directing youth theatre, I am passionate not only about ethical and equitable theatre education, but also about high quality professional development for theatre teachers and teaching artists.
This passion has fueled my research in cognitive development and performance pedagogy. I share this work with others who facilitate creative learning spaces, helping improve performance pedagogy through publication, through leading a teacher credentialing program, and through offering professional development to arts educators.
