South Park Children's Theatre's Playwriting Class | Spring 2024
|
For the second year, I had the privilege of being asked to teach a 7-week playwriting class to young students between the ages of 12-18. Showing them the fundamentals of story structure, theater history, and dialogue/monologue has proven to be some of the most fulfilling work that I get to take part in. After many peer-run workshops, a panel of professional local actors performed cold readings of the students' scripts in front of a showcase audience of family and friends.

A Tribute to Pokémon Go! | Fall 2021
|
A fan film, this creative take on Pokémon Go! expresses the joy we have found playing a simple game on our phones. While COVID-19 has kept us separated, it has taught us the joy we find in the outside world simply by walking out our own front door. Working with my good friend, the talented dancer Adrienne Elion (IG: @adrienne.elion), I had the pleasure of shooting and editing this short passion project to bring this video to life.

Why Tell Stories?"Stories are the atoms that make up our creative world. We build them up to create histories for ourselves, for countries, for fantasies, for movements...
And I am one of those builders." My passions fall into the realm of stories that improve our world. Gender, sexuality, mental health, wellness... These are all topics that need to come to the forefront in order to create change. As a storyteller, I take my work seriously. My projects, ranging from children's theater and Pokémon fan films to Telly Award winning climate campaign series and everything in between, all have the goal of moving the dial in the direction of a safer, kinder, more inclusive society. I want to help people by moving those who can take action, and inspiring those who otherwise feel disempowered. Storytelling can be the catalyst. |
