As a passionate participant in the birthing of new work for the stage, I serve as a hub between the artists and the teams that make their art. Working closely alongside the Literary Manager and the Executive Artistic Director, this role allows me to engage in dramaturgical analysis, new work development, casting processes, event planning and management, as well as team development.

As a creative consultant, I hold the mental health, community health, and creative health of a production's diverse team of artist at the forefront of a process. With a goal of disallowing elements of urgency culture while producing new work to dismantle a team's commitment to one another's humanity. Offering trainings in support of setting community intentions, attending rehearsals as a bridge between a production team and an HR team, holding space for artists to decompress between and during rehearsals, offering resources for system regulation to teams as they arise, and support conversations around potential content and/or trigger warnings a production might need. My eye is only on team care so that the artists can be liberated in their creative explorations.
