Puppetry. Scenography.
Theatre. Community.

I am a multifaceted theatre maker whose unique practice of landscape poetics, junkyard theatrics, and performative alchemy explores the unexpected correspondence between the performing body and the performing of the world. Expanding on the disciplines of puppetry, ecoscenography and sensory ethnography as foundations for creative inquiry I create works for the theatre, outdoor spectacles and community-led projects.

Puppetry

Specializing in large scale, processional, pageant, and experimental object theatre, I am fascinated by how material performance can both grip our imaginations and stimulate critical discussion.

Scenography

With over a decade of professional experience, my scenographic practice encompasses set, lighting, carpentry, sculpture and costuming. I am driven to pursue sustainable practices and believe that the potential of materials and the act of performance extends beyond the run of a show.

Theatre

I am a director, a dramaturge, a performer, a devisor and above all, a collaborator. I believe that theatre is an act of emplacement and an act of humility. I strive to find ways to collaborate across disciplines, cultures and with the non-human world.

Community

I make work collectively, whether it is collaborating with professional artists, working with young adults, leading public workshops or teaching post-secondary students. To quote Bread and Puppet's Cheap Art Manifesto, "Art is food. You can't eat it but it feeds you. Art has to be cheap and available to everybody. It needs to be everywhere because it is the inside of the world."
