hey

​

I hope to not know you, to meet you someday soon, to be something new for you. 

​

I enjoy creating and performing art --

specifically when a variety of forms, spaces and mediums are utilized to enhance one's sense of beauty and limitlessness. Or a group's indeterminable nature. Whichever helps us feel most alive together. 

 

My intention is to cultivate a community of artists who feel called to change this industry and heal in the process of dismantling it.  

​

Some plays I have created are called Hooters Play, Boyband, Dead Tripping and RAD!

​

I've been trying to make my Nun play -- do you know any producers who could help me?

​​

I just made my first "real" short film called Mad

​

Since 2019, I have been in collaboration with the ever-evolving, Brooklyn-based, performance artist collective:

IDontWannaSeeThat. 
We make the craziest sh*t.

​

Some of my favorite projects I have performed in are 

Judgment Day, directed by Richard Jones at the Park Avenue Armory, 

The Unholy produced by Sam Raimi.

This house is not a home by Nile Harris at UTR Festival

 

Upcoming: Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy on Peacock.
