Intimacy in Performance
Mission Statement.
I aim to choreograph intimate moments that honor the playwright’s and director’s vision while also stylistically respecting the actor’s boundaries. I will create a space where vulnerability and artistry can flourish, allowing for the creation of profound scenes on stage. The process will be safe and fun for actors and the creative team. When you work with me, you are not just hiring someone to choreograph something, but rather a collaborator who is eager and dedicated to bringing storytelling to life.
