THE DIRECTOR

ARTIST PHILOSOPHY
Art provides society with the agency to attain self-actualization and a way of working out subconscious problems. I’m passionate about bringing together seemingly disparate worlds to expand cultural perspectives. For instance, thinking through the differences and similarities between the lyricism of Tupac Shakur and William Shakespeare, or Suzan-Lori Parks and Wole Soyinka as compared with Samuel Beckett are intriguing ways of gaining insight. While understanding the Greeks and Aristotle’s Poetics is important, I think it is essential to also consider other theories of theatre practice such as Henry Louis Gates, Jr’s theories of African-American literary criticism. This closer proximity allows room for wider engagement and profound understanding.
