What drives my work is a desire to bring stronger dramaturgical discipline and intention to musical theatre. I’m also driven by my own feminine perspective, and I use my work — both through story itself and through leadership — to help shift collective consciousness around women and gender.
As a kid I wanted to be an archaeologist … and then for a while I wanted to cure incurable diseases. Those interests diverged and I became a theatre maker. I’m also Greek, so with the art of integrating music, dance, and story in my bones, I’m interested in pushing the form past entertainment, back towards its ancient roots — as a healing agent for the individual and the collective, soul and society. You can always find me digging around in old material to see how it may be speaking to us through time, and what it might still have to teach us when examined through a contemporary lens. My other interests include food politics, nature, plant medicine, modalities of healing thru mind-body integration, god & their manifestations, and generational trauma … I can and love talking all day long about all these things, especially about how they relate back to my work.
