Highly immersive yet supportive experiential theatre. I am trained to cast audience members in the role of the main character without making them feel like they have to carry the weight of the performance. I will help the audience explore their dreams and desires through a structured narrative.

I came to Austin in late 2017 to take part in an explorative interactive theatre laboratory called Deep Dive. During my 8 month residency, I collaborated with unique artists to create several amazing interactive experiences. The most influential projects I worked on are called Spirit of the Torch and OpenMind. Aside from my interactive artistry, I have done extensive work with government agencies, emergency services, medical professionals, and humanitarian organizations to train individuals through high fidelity simulations. I am also a filmmaker and I teach filmmaking both to young students and people with disabilities.
