My performances and work unite unrepresented communities within large- scale society. They mature us and let us become aware of social and political struggles we have, are, and are yet to face.

Their aim is to always present exposing, honest and intimate narratives, to help find comfort and reassurance towards sensitive topics that anyone around us could also be experiencing.

"The Greatness of community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members"

Coretta Scott King

​

My work speaks from the heart of subjects that have not only taken effect in my thoughts and life, but that have and are also effecting others in their life . Verbatim theatre is a stylistic choice to assist the creation of awareness from stories of communities that are worth representing to impact social change.

Topics or people that aren't initially heard but that, unaware to them, is shared with others across the world.

"Empathy is the starting point for creating community and taking action. It's the impetus for creating change"

Max Carver

​

Aided by documentary audio, lip synching and Physical Theatre, performances aim to have an audience member question their initial perspectives that they began with. They are not necessarily changing that perspective, but offer another lense to process and principally CARE about. 

An emotional catharsis, resonance, and reflection for you AND people other than yourself.

"Community leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing"
