Stage Management
I take pride in all that I accomplish when I stage manage a show. I model my time management skills to accommodate deadlines and juggle and maintain each process of the show at a time. I create a well thought out rehearsal schedule balancing conflicts and insuring successful performance readiness. I work with all members of the production staff, company members, and producers to ensure all technical elements are in place for the production before and during the production. I also take pride to maintain a positive work environment. Click the photo to learn more.
Dramatic Writing
Each story from the shortest skit to the longest play holds a special place in my heart. The stories I write are a reflection of the world around me. These combination of comedy, tragedy, fantasy, and adventure is exactly the combination that life brings us every day. Playwriting is a form of protest and expression I use to find my voice and help others find their voice as well. Click the photo to learn more.
Props Design
As a props designer I am able to mold any material and create something beautiful and new. I communicate and understand the writing from the play, as well as the artistic vision from other collaborators. I focus on the details of each prop and the stories they tell. I am able to express myself and strengthen my creative muscle, while balancing budget and deadlines. As well as designing and crafting, I efficiently manage and optimize space organization while ensuring all necessary documentation and paperwork are completed in a timely and accurate manner. I wish to create things that will get the audience thinking. I want the audience to start thinking about the world of the play, and the world around them. Click the photo to learn more.
Other Design/Technical Jobs
One of the most important characteristics about me, is I strive to be a well rounded individual. While there are areas I am more experienced in I have deep love and passion for all design aspects of theatre. I want to deeper my experiences and knowledges in every aspect I can. Design gives me a feeling that can't be replaced by anything else. Click the photo to learn more
