Workshops & Lectures
I create frameworks and facilitate spaces of growth and in-depth symposiums about culture, history, and dramaturgy. Whether leading workshops about cultural specificity in a show or informing groups of histories that are unknown to them I work with various communities to provide context and resources on various topics.
