Facilitator
(she/her) I am a young, female director whose body of work ranges from large scale musicals, intimate, immersive productions, events and tours and opera. I also specialize in fight direction. I am interested in immersive work, puppetry, work where movement is a focus, and where the audience can physically interact with the performance in some way, whether it is by touching props or changing the outcome.
