Artistic Statement
Theatre changes people.
Theatre is not only a space for entertainment, but also a powerful source for empathy, reflection, and dialogue.
As a director, I seek to share stories that resonate beyond the stage. I believe in creating environments that are rooted in gratitude, imagination, boldness, and kindness. It’s a privilege to collaborate with other artists to make art that can challenge, comfort, and inspire.
My goal is to leave audiences changed, even subtly, carrying something with them into their lives and conversations beyond the theatre.
