Adventure Architect

​

I am a theatre creator, curator, and producer with experience in special events, production management, conceiving and executing original and adapted work, touring, grant and proposal writing, venue management, and have worked in both the nonprofit and for-profit sectors. Most recently, I have begun creating hybrids of multimedia, music, theatre, and video. 

I have been the Artistic Director of Silent Theatre since its inception in 2005 and am the Adventure Architect behind Visceral Adventure.
