I was born in Los Angeles, a voracious doodler scrawling all over my homework. My passion for the arts developed from there into a desire to experiment with a new medium that would change my relationship with my body and self: theatre. I caught the bug when I discovered Shakespeare in my adolescence, and ever since then, I’ve been chasing that work and dedicating most of my time and energy to it. Shakespeare keeps me curious and connected. It touched my soul, and brought me friendships and opportunities I never would have expected. It was the spark that lit my proverbial fire.
An essential part of my work in all mediums is the exploration of the body and gender. I identify as a gender non-conforming woman, and continue to seek to bring a genderqueer perspective to my art. Part of why I love(d) Shakespeare so much is the freedom it has given me to play traditionally masculine or gender-ambiguous roles on top of feminine ones. My queerness can’t be decoupled from my creative process. I also love to explore themes around the nature of the body being temporary and mortal, but with a bottomless capacity for change and transformation. Other hobbies I’ve picked up have included banjo playing and zine making, and I am deeply passionate about entomology!
I am always looking for work and collaborators, so if you would like to make some art together, please reach out!
