I am a playwright and interdisciplinary artist. I write plays, poetry and essays, and make visual art and videos. In all of these, I’m interested in perception, how we construct worlds together, and what it means to be embodied in the here and now.
Experimentation in form has been the natural outcome of these preoccupations. It was my desire to experiment with form that led me to form The Terror Cottas, in order to have more control over my opportunities to do so in theater. I’m inclined to help create opportunities for other experimental playwrights whose disciplines do not include acting or directing, and who are not likely to get what they want from the submissions game.
