Eliminate ego. Stimulate the soul. Foster the unexpected.
The most imposing roadblock keeping any of us from achieving greatness stands within ourselves.
A strong emphasis on thorough dramaturgical research, Asian physical and metaphysical techniques for the body and spirit of the stage artist, and Meisner acting methods are primary examples of how I strive as a theatre director, designer, actor, and educator to eliminate self-consciousness and hesitation, inspire creativity and a sense of power, and elicit the most organic, truthful moments possible on the stage... and off.
