Artistic Values
Collaboration and Commitment to Diversity
I am committed to working with every individual—regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, background, or political beliefs. This is not simply a statement of values, but a promise. Theater is at its strongest when artists from different walks of life come together to share their experiences and perspectives. Our differences shape the stories we tell, and those stories resonate more deeply when they reflect the full spectrum of human experience. Now more than ever, it is essential for us—as collaborators, storytellers, and members of a broader creative community—to stand together and support one another. The world can feel divided, but the work we create has the power to bridge those divides. Theater has always been for the people: a space for connection, empathy, and collective understanding. I believe in fostering that space, welcoming all voices, and contributing to work that uplifts and represents everyone.
Body and Form
The representation of the human body is significant to what I try to represent in my art. Having the belief that our different sizes and shapes are what make us beautiful, my goal as a designer is to sculpt the human body to highlight its unique nature. I am fascinated by the way our bodies convey emotions, movements, and expressions. Every piece I create is an exploration into the vast landscape of human variability, a homage to our inherent diversity. Through various mediums and techniques, I aim to showcase the beauty in asymmetry, the elegance in every imperfection, and the strength in every unique form. Through my work, I strive to honor this magnificent complexity and encourage others to see beyond the surface.
Experimental Nature
To leave a lasting impression on an audience, one must leave the theater reflecting on a production they have just seen. The experience should be thought-provoking, encouraging them to revisit scenes in their minds and discuss them with others long after the final curtain has fallen. To achieve this level of engagement, I firmly believe that creating something out of the ordinary is necessary. Breaking away from these norms and venturing into the realm of the unconventional can generate a more impactful audience experience. The unpredictability and novelty of such approaches can jolt the audience out of passive viewing and thrust them into an active, emotionally engaging journey. While I do value contemporary methods and recognize their significance, I am convinced that one must embrace experimental approaches to truly captivate and resonate with the audience. Contemporary methods provide a solid foundation, but they should not be the ceiling of our creative ambitions.
