I do that in a lot of mediums including live performance, television, film, dance, poetry, novellas, and just about any other place you can experience a story (parks, books, the inter-web, our dreams). I’m the artistic producer of PARADIGM productions, a collaborative indie company dedicated to developing and staging contentious, political, and entertaining performance works.
In story I explore the space between who we are, who we have been, and who we want to become.
I work with scale flipping wildly between the intimate and the epic.
I’m drawn to the visceral, the taboo, the hilarious, the secret, and the sacred beloved.
My work is trauma-informed and heart and spirit forward because I think tenderness can change our world and wonder if you do to.
I believe story and content is best experienced through form and structure and want to push beyond the edges of whatever we think those things are.
I write to interrupt the unconscious narratives that drive through our lives and communities, to crack open the eternal within us and ask, “What is happening? What is possible?”
When I'm not telling stories, I'm teaching. I’m honoured to be on faculty at Randolph College of Performing Arts and Armstrong Acting Studios where I teach advanced scene study for theatre and on-camera performance. I teach empowered, mindful, and playful approaches to accessing the body and capturing the movement of the mind as our main tools in performance.
I’m based in Toronto but have worked in Munich, Berlin, London, Dublin, Montreal, and think of all kinds of places as home.
To know more about my work, check out my texts, learn about the epic trilogy of plays and podcasts I just produced - The Empire, read some micro-performance essays, or take a class with me.
