Directing
Artist Statement
I am Stanislavski based Director with a love for the collaborative artistic process and the impactful and poignant productions that follow.
To begin at the beginning, I am a theatre director of meaningful plays and musicals. More specifically, I tell stories that have a societal or political need to be told. Theatre is an entertaining industry, my style blends entertainment, comedy, and romance with underlying truths about our world.
Whilst I love leaving audiences with lingering thoughts, my passion for theatre comes from the collaborative process. To quote Sondheim, “The art of making art is putting it together”, and I couldn’t agree more. For me, the artistry in the creative process is discerning characters’ choices and significance within the greater vision of the show. For this reason, I take a heavily research and Stanislavski approach to my work, focusing the actor tasks. Working through that analysis with actors and designers is what drives me as a director.
