Sam's profile
I am a teaching artist, using puppetry to explore emotions and bolster storytelling skills. When working with students, I model productive ways to process feelings. When working with adults, I want to validate feelings they might suppress. In my performances, I explore depression and anxiety through humor. I don’t know if I can make you feel better about your anxieties, but I hope you will not feel alone. I strive to make my work and craft accessible. When someone views my art, I want them to say “I could do that!” and then be motivated to actualize that idea. There is nothing more satisfying than helping someone tell their story in a way that is true and authentic to them. I appreciate that, in Baltimore, the distances between artist, audience, and collaboration are short and interchangeable.
