Education:

I educate through ensemble-based work, ensuring that my performers understand that quality performances do not just lie in acting, but through understanding and respecting all areas of theatre. I focus heavily on integration of music, puppetry, movement, sound, choreography and lighting into their performance. It is in these ways that I believe young people become valued collaborators and true theatre artists.
