I do that in a lot of mediums including live performance, television, film, dance, poetry, novellas, and just about any other place you can experience a story. From 2013-2020 I founded and was the artistic producer of PARADIGM productions, a collaborative indie company dedicated to developing and staging contentious, political, and entertaining performance works.
Through story, I explore the space between who we are, who we have been, and who we are becoming. I work with scale flipping wildly between the intimate and the epic. I’m drawn to the visceral, the taboo, the hilarious, the cosmic, and the sacred. My work is heart & spirit forward. In 2019, I began my journey as a Dhamma practitioner and bring mindfulness, loving kindness, and wisdom practice to my artistic processes and experience of humanity.
I believe story is best experienced through form and want to push beyond the edges of whatever we think form can be. I write to interrupt the unconscious narratives that propel our lives and communities in order to crack open the eternal and ask, “What is happening? What is possible?”
When I'm not telling stories, I'm teaching. I’m honoured to be the Artistic Director at Armstrong Acting Studios where I teach advanced scene study for on-camera performance. I teach empowered and playful approaches to accessing the body and mind as our main tools in performance. In 2020, I completed my training as an instructor in Correct Mindfulness for Insight Practice.
I’m based in Toronto but have worked in Munich, Berlin, London, Dublin, Winnipeg, Montreal.
