Directing
Creating bold, musical, and deeply human theatre.
I approach directing with a focus on storytelling through sound, movement, and emotion. Whether leading a theatrical production, staging a choir performance, or developing interdisciplinary works, I strive to bring out the raw energy and authenticity of the actors/ensemble and strive to tell a good story.
My directing work spans theatre, opera, children's theatre and devised ensemble-based projects, always centering the performer’s voice and presence.
Let’s collaborate - reach out to discuss directing opportunities.
