Artistic Statement & Original Creations
My
central artistic interest is the creation of new theater
works, both my own movement theater adaptations and working
directly with playwrights on new projects.
The
following productions are either original movement theater
works that I have created and staged, often in collaboration
with a visual artist or composer, or premieres of new plays
that I have directed.
