Additional information:
I have been fortunate to a career to date that has spanned multiple approaches to contemporary and tradition theatrical creation. As a result, my directorial practice that is an inclusive “Total” approach – one where all techniques, forms, disciplines and pedagogies can share the playing space in conversation. My objective is what is most effective towards a given moment or expression and what new is created when opposing forms, disciplines and ideas are put in conversation.
Examples of this “form with purpose” approach has included fusing American Methods (Meisner, Adler, Strasberg, Chekov), creation and site specific practices with classical text First Folio Work; Physical theatre (such as Viewpoints, Laban and Biomechanics) with contemporary new writing; international traditional practices with western devising; contemporary dance and cross cultural practices with literary translation; and application of contemporary sculpture, installation and media practices to tradition theatre.
As a professional director who has been fortunate to travel extensively in my practice, I am often working with new ecologies, new companies and new artists. From professional mainstages to a beach in Bali, and from large festival resources to emerging new companies, I have focused my work on identifying the strength of my artists, building upon them and working together create high caliber material unique to the artists who made it. I have focused on a creative ensemble practice allowing elements such as limited company resources or artistic capacity to be a creative inspiration, turning potential perceived weaknesses into strengths.
