My artistic approach brings lived experience into the rehearsal room through layered storytelling, metaphor, and interdisciplinary mediums. I work with play, humour, time, and shifting perspectives, allowing meaning to emerge through process. Each work develops its own approach, guided by honesty, a commitment to the concept, and a balance between personal inquiry and connection to the world.
