EXPLORING

I am exploring a few different directing projects. The first is a mediation on Allen Ginsberg’s HOWL which just had a workshop production as a part of RhinoFest (photo attached). I am also currently developing an adaptation of an Italian novel as well as devising a piece based on the intersection of queerness and bluegrass.
