Production
I am an independent artist who is passionate about theatre as a force of community engagement and social change. Theatre should educate, inspire, and move us to action. Successful art should also offer hope and bolster faith.
I tend to be nomadic, geographically and stylistically. This means I may be found wandering the globe creating a wide range of performance art including everything from physical theatre to Shakespeare– from clowning to Inge.

Education
I am also a teaching artist.
I run Single Digit Theatre, an educational exploration for very young children (ages 5-8), which implements my Interactive Storytelling techniques.
Older children (ages 9-16) can experience Playmaking, a groundbreaking theatre program based on New York’s 52nd Street Project which focuses on guiding students through play creation and production. Students develop their creativity and self-esteem through a painless and supportive group environment. Playmaking culminates in performances of students’ plays by professional actors and directors (and sometimes students!)
Not a kiddo? Don’t worry: I also offer physical theatre, acting, and movement workshops for all ages. I may even be found teaching courses at your local college/university or theatre.
