Directing
I spent over a decade in NYC working as a theater director, specializing in collaborating with playwrights to develop new work. My directing experience provides a strong background in skills that are directly applicable to narrative design, such as designing performances that incorporate audience participation, conveying theme through environment and mechanics, and working with a variety of different departments to weave together a cohesive narrative experience.
Selected works
An Eye for An Eye
As a part of NYU Steinhart’s New Plays for Young Audiences, I spent a week intensively workshopping the play with the cast, giving playwright Rachel Teagle a chance to experiment with and re-write the script, culminating in a weekend long staged reading with opportunities for audience talkbacks and feedback.
G Train Exodus
Over several years, I worked with playwright Jessica Fleitman to develop her heart wrenching magical play, G Train Exodus. Our continued collaboration, with a variety of venues and casts, gave us ample opportunities to refine and enhance our approach to the narrative.
John Gabriel Borkman
I worked as an assistant director to Risa Brainin to develop this fresh adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher of Henrik Ibsen’s John Gabriel Borkman for the Commonweal’s 13th Annual Ibsen Festival in Lanesboro, MN. Production challenges included everything from coordinating show needs with the rest of the festival, to directing a play where a mansion must transition into a mountain.
Voiceover
Over the years I have accumulated a variety of voiceover experiences and training, providing me with a strong understanding of the finer nuances of writing dialogue that is meant to be voiced, and effective means of providing voice actors with the tools needed to deliver a top notch performance.
