I am inspired by the possibilities for human connection in theatre—the immediate, authentic exchange between performer and audience. In my work I seek to reveal the inner experience that connects us to one another, the vulnerability and reverence which is both hidden within, yet beyond our everyday selves. I have been a devisor of theatre for twenty years, creating more than 15 new works in collaborative partnerships. This amazing journey, as creator, performer, director, and teacher, has freed me to reach into the unknown parts of myself and discover new ways of communicating what I find. Working with other artists challenges and inspires me to reach beyond what I know, and a deeper, shared vision emerges. As a devisor, director, and performer experimentation and collaboration are integral to my method in approaching both conventional and non-conventional forms.
