Artistic Statement
My work balances the archaic and the contemporary to start discussions around feminism, sex and sexuality, relationships, and abuse in its many forms. I am interested in the way choreographed art — combat, intimacy, movement — makes theatre a unique medium, and I endeavor to incorporate it into my scripts. I aim to create characters that entice actors and give them agency in the story. My writing voice combines realistic, easy dialogue with poetry, creating a theatrical world that is both authentic and mythic, familiar and fantastical, and full of play.
