THE ACTOR INSIDE THE DIRECTOR

I started my career as an actor and a playwright. This informs the way I enter into the world of the story - through the text and how the characters behaves in the world, I feel responsible to know every detail of production and prepare thoroughly, so that there can be freedom on set. I know from experience that this is the way magic can happen in the moment. Fierce preparation is what makes a safe place to play, and the play serves the story. I love to collaborate with intelligent risk takers, talented artists…with people so passionate about this work that they want to keep discovering. To create and to re-create life.
