Community Based Projects, Outreach & Curation

Before I am a theater maker, I am a community member and I fully believe that when a theater involves a community and allows them to see themselves in the fabric and DNA of these cultural institutions they will come and make a home there. My practice is centered on care, community, and context. Whether leading workshops about cultural specificity in a show or informing groups of histories that are unknown to them, I work with the communities to provide context and resources on various topics.
