CURRENT MISSION

To travel Europe playing my accordion every day. To collect the stories and songs of people I meet, and distill my experiences into a musical performance following my adventures.

ABOUT ME

I am a theatre maker who develops original performance, including fantastical works involving masks and puppets, and sketch comedy/political satire. I enjoy science, rock climbing, river swimming, star gazing, and consorting with strangers, especially over a good game. I'm fascinated by people and the stories of their lives.

PHILOSOPHY

“Do not wait. Do not wait for enough time or money to accomplish what you think you have in mind. Work with what you have right now. Work with the people around you right now. Work with the architecture around you right now. Do not wait for what you assume is the appropriate, stress free environment in which to generate expression. Do not wait for maturity or insight or wisdom. Do not wait until you are sure that you know what you are doing. Do not wait until you have enough technique. What you do now, what you make of your present circumstances will determine the quality and scope of your future endeavors.” -Ann Bogart, "A Director Prepares"

Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats. ~Voltaire

"The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy." -Albert Camus, 1942
