I am a director who works best in collaborative spaces that foster engagement in honest storytelling and world-building.
The worlds and stories I feel most pulled are those of queerness (Queer in lived experience and politic) and stories rooted in the human condition and/or community.
Transparency and equity in collaboration are key for me, and I invite any artists who share space with me to match the work we share in their truth.

“Queer Spooky Shorts” w/ TOSOS NYC
I had the pleasure of directing two short readings with the oldest queer theatre in NY. The two pieces I worked on were:
(Woman) Women Scorned by Teresa Lotz
Johnny & Clyde: A Seance Machine Story by EllaRose Chary & Brandon James Gwinn

Song Cycle - Direction/Production
Recently I was privileged to create a song cycle series with a collaborative team that launched in the summer of 2021. This series took art directly to the community with outside gorilla-style theatre performing in parking lots, and historic theatres alike, offering a pay-what-you-want admission.
The three shows were titled: “Home” “Queer Stories” and “Community” . This three-part series allowed each of the artists involved to bring in their own materials within the different themes of each show. The narrative and flow that bonded each performance together were then created and nurtured by myself and my co-director Marcus Jordan.
