I am on a mission to unleash performance artists and educators to interrogate current practices, and arm them with the tools that they need in order to enact change.
I utilize consent-based approaches to fuel freedom of exploration in creative processes; to activate agency in storytelling; and to advocate for ethical and efficient practices in our changing industries. I craft physical storytelling for stages, screens, and interactive experiences alike. And I create community-centered performance projects to facilitate dialogue related to the world in which we live and create.
Intimacy Coordinator and Choreographer
I support artistic processes in theatre, dance, opera, improv, and film with ethical and effective artistic techniques for crafting performances of heightened intimacy. I create consent-based practices that fuel physical storytelling.
Immersive Artist
I craft and perform in immersive theatre, themed entertainment, audience-engaged performance, historical re-enactment, and larp. I develop diegetic consent mechanics for gamified performance in consultation with immersive artists and larp creators.
