Who Am I?

Art has a long definition that I’m going to shorten, “the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination.” Theatre gives us a way to see the world in action through the work of the human body and spirit. I have a deep respect and admiration for all art forms (music, budgeting, cooking, sculpture) and every one of them the world cannot live without. But I cannot live in the world without the use of my voice and my body. Our voices and our bodies are the things that are policed the most by our environment from the earliest parts of our existence. I am going to stretch what they are capable of while expanding my mind and expanding the range of human emotion along with it. I want to discover every lifetime to have ever existed and will ever exist through theatre - the art of being human. And with that, take the audience with me. I never want to make art to be forgotten - carry it with you always. I am going to make art in my lifetime that will change every person who sees it.
