Artist Profile
I’ve always been interested in theater “in the wild,” undomesticated by commerce, theory or politics but possessing a potent, subversive charge of value, concept and power. That is what has nourished me as an artist.
From an undergraduate fascination with English ritual street theater and Peter Brooks’ THE EMPTY SPACE, through my years in Washington, first as a stagehand with Peter Sellars’ American National Theater, then as one of the first theatrical sound designers in the area, to my time in Baltimore with its thriving DIY and underground scene, I’ve pursued theater that lives in spite of, and in the interstices of, commercial, academic, and regional theater institutions, and have worked to leverage an outsider point-of-view with emerging technology to create new possibilities for performance.
Currently, I’m focusing more on creating original music for the stage, while continuing to work as a video, sound and lighting designer and performer.
