Directing is my first artistic passion. I'm interested in the intersection of myth, heightened language, and virtuosic physicality. I put the story first.
In recent years, my work has moved increasingly toward adaptation and devised theater; taking myths and epic narratives and reshaping them for small, intensely trained companies. The Odyssey, East of the Sun, West of the Moon, Tales from Ovid: these are pieces where the writing and directing are inseparable.
