Artistic Statement

My work is driven by pressure. I write plays in which characters enter already knowing who they are, and the drama emerges from whether the systems around them can accommodate that truth. I’m less interested in transformation than in reconfiguration: what happens when structures bend, when language breaks down, and when relationships must renegotiate their terms.

I think of dialogue as a site of power—where authority is asserted, challenged, and occasionally undone. My plays often place individuals in conversation with institutions, families, and communities, tracking how alignment shifts and what becomes newly visible under strain.

Working across ensemble forms and non-traditional staging, I aim to create spaces where audience and performers share proximity and responsibility, and where meaning is generated collectively. I’m especially drawn to queer narratives that locate tension not in trauma, but in the friction between self-knowledge and the worlds we move through.
