Artistic Mission 

The work I crave is dynamic, messy, and exciting. In a practice rooted in community and integrity, theatre is a doorway to joy, truth, and healing. 

 

I lean on the Michael Chekhov Technique, Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed, Clowning and Latin American Mischief, to me, stories are a way to open hearts and spark conversation. Through embracing the sheer chaos, pain, and beauty of being human, I honor the ancestral technology of oral storytelling that allows us to connect.

 

Everything is political. I approach theatre in service: through intentional casting, centering the collective, and fostering reciprocity between artists, audiences, and communities. I believe in rigorous love, holding both tenderness and accountability, so that theatre becomes a space where empathy can grow, voices are heard, and dialogue bridges divides.

 

Every production asks the “why here, why now”: why this story matters in this time, for this community, and for the world we share. I aim to honor the essential act of lifting a story from the page—the ritual of coming together with living, breathing people, and the craft that surprises and reveals something deeper about ourselves in the audience.

My work as an artist and educator seeks to empower those telling the story, enrich the lives of the people it touches, and open space for reflection, connection, and action.
