Artistic Statement
Directing a story, whether it be new, classic, adaptation, or musical, on the screen or stage, takes an understanding of the current reality we live in, and the one we explore through text. Dissecting and transforming the arcs of the story's perspectives is how I breathe life into a world. The sense of play and specificity are inherent in my expression of storytelling. Being able to understand the entity of the piece itself, audience it is being told to, and institutions it is being held by is how I navigate my direction. Through the brilliance of the current collaborators, teachers, mentors, and future artists I hope to work with, I strive to continue the passion and art of storytelling.
