About

I introduce my students to the infinite resource that is theatrical space. I encourage them to see performance everywhere and observe the rhythms, breath, push and pull of performance in the natural world. I demand that my students play seriously, vigorously iterate, and breathe their body. I’m passionate about creating inclusive and imaginative spaces for diverse groups, celebrating every individual’s contribution through the arts.
