ARTIST STATEMENT
I believe quality work transports an audience. I love the smallest details. Nuance. My ultimate goal in work is to create a theatrical experience that lingers, an image, a shared visceral experience, moments of connection, reflection, an intimacy for, and with, an audience. During the extended time of Covid's suspended live performances I came to more clearly understand, more importantly than ever, how vital it is that art I make now, and moving forward, needs to speak louder, to be braver, to offer a unique portal, a specific societal voice, especially for women. Not as a political gesture, because I’m not really interested in work that is specifically political, but I have come to understand how ALL the work I make IS ultimately an act of resistance - that it IS a voice for social consciousness — a way of responding to where I/ we are at a specific time, and having the strength to dissect it, question it, to artistically interpret it, and ... to share it.
