The Director
As a director, my foremost mission is to cultivate a dynamic and inclusive environment where every member of the creative team feels empowered to bring their full, authentic selves to the table. I see the artistic process as a collaboration of whole people—valuing not just their talents but their experiences, perspectives, and humanity. My approach is rooted in fostering environments that inspire bold creativity, where artists feel safe to take risks, explore possibilities, and push the boundaries of their artistry.
Drawing from my expertise as an Intimacy Director, I seamlessly integrate industry-leading best practices into every project I undertake. This ensures a production process that prioritizes the well-being and comfort of each participant while encouraging a culture of curiosity, experimentation, and meaningful reflection. My commitment to implementing these practices allows artists to focus fully on their craft, knowing they are supported in every aspect of their work.
At the core of my process is a dedication to crafting a consent-forward rehearsal space from day one. By intentionally establishing a culture where each artist's "yes" and "no" hold equal weight and respect, I lay the groundwork for honest communication and mutual trust. This foundation not only enhances the rehearsal experience but also drives deeper levels of collaboration, unlocking a richer and more intentional creative process. The result is a production that resonates with authenticity, unity, and purpose, embodying the very best of what theatre can achieve.
Through this approach, I aim to elevate every project I lead into an inspiring and transformative journey for all involved, ensuring that the final work reflects the integrity, passion, and innovative spirit of the entire creative team.
