Performing Artist
“We tend to use the word story casually, as if stories and narratives were ephemeral decorations for some unchanging underlying reality. The deeper neurological truth is that stories do not cloak reality, but create it, triggering cascades of perception and motivation….Stories are not just stories; they are the best invention ever created for delivering mental models that drive behavior”
Director, performer, movement practitioner, and theater educator whose work centers embodiment, physical storytelling, and actor-driven creation. Three decades as a performing artist and a decade as a theater teaching artist inform a directing practice grounded in the actor's body, ensemble devising, and creative agency. Extensive training and professional practice in physical theater, clown, Shakespeare, dance, Alexander Technique, and somatic practice.
