I am obsessed with the needs of the spectator of the live event. It seems to me that that is an inexhaustible question in our time.

​

My process emphasizes a rigorous attention to textual detail and a study of the innate "bits" in a play, coupled with a rehearsal process informed by improvisations and character-specific physical trainings. I've learned a great deal from Katie Mitchell's Stanislavskian directing methods, as well as training in Lecoq's devising techniques at the Pig Iron School.

​

I am drawn to a certain level of abstraction and minimalism in design as a kind of tension point to the raw immediacy I seek to cultivate in the ensemble.

​

My growing edge in directing in 2020 is devising participatory work which blends theater and performance art.
