the scoop

nice to meet you!

i am a deviser, director, and applied theatre practitioner based in amiskwacîwâskahikan/edmonton, but i call boston and san francisco home too. i have an mfa in applied theatre/theatre education from emerson college, where i studied

embodied practice as a tool for social justice, community engagement, and recasting shakespeare as a liberatory education practice. i also have a ba from wellesley college, where i studied theatre and religion. i’m a proud co-founder of the fork & shoe theatre co-op, a production company focused on scrappy, DIY, accessible puppet theatre, where i’ve been directing and devised shows since 2020. i believe theatre is a meaningful tool to create and deepen community! currently, i’m writing a solo clown performance about rape in the hebrew bible for calgary fringe festival and deepening my clown creation skills with small matters productions.

i love…

  • dissecting problematic “classical” texts

  • clown

  • radical curriculum design

  • theatre of the oppressed

  • shakespeare

  • judaism

  • community engaged work

  • queerness onstage

  • the joy of being outdoors

i’m also a teacher and administrator!

my very first love was shakespeare camp. i began my teaching practice with the san francisco shakespeare festival, eventually co-leading their education department as part of a lateral leadership structure. i’ve got a robust and interdisciplinary teaching-artist-toolkit from my time as a lead teaching artist and performer with boston theater company, hebrew school teacher and administrator with temple israel, director with mit’s shakespeare ensemble, the winsor school, and more. i’m passionate about education from the inside out!
