Greetings! Thanks for being here.
I am a writer and theatre creature based in Minneapolis, MN. I write and direct plays, and I also act and choreograph for the stage. My artistic research is centered on reproductive stories, and I am the Company Director of The Birth Play Project.
This article, published in the Minnesota Women's Press, is a great "I Am" Song for the work that I do. It's titled Placing Birth in Public Memory.
I also love staging queerness-as-transcendence, love Shakespeare, and have recently become comfortable calling myself a songwriter / lyricist. I am passionate about somatic experience, fair process, and the potential of incorporating social science research into artistic leadership and company-building practices.
Words I appreciate that have been used to describe my work:
Precision. Muscular. Enchanting, wickedly smart. Heart-first, siren-voiced, joy-giver, avenging angel. A force, difficult to define and quantify. The magic was there.
RECENT NEWS: The Birth Play Project's adaptation of Shakespeare's Measure for Measure will make its Minneapolis debut on Friday, September 27th and tour to three Twin Cities venues until October 21st. For more info and to purchase tickets, follow this link.
