Since 2016, I’ve worked as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Theater at Swarthmore College.
For the department, I’ve taught a number of classes that explore directing, devising, and acting, and directed several productions. My work with students addresses two major concerns:
Learning to create your own theater work through an exploration/identification/celebration of one’s own authentic values and concerns; and
Performance as a tool of empowerment, using the practice of embodied experiences to build capacity for vulnerability, risk-taking, and collaboration.
