Work as Associate Director

I am a very experienced Associate Director for musical theatre and theatre. My strength as an Associate is empowering actors to discover a director’s vision as if for the first time. I work to understand a director’s original creative vision - including the shapes, the boundaries and the flexibilities - and can create this anew with different actors in lead, featured, ensemble or understudy roles. I am very skilled in working with actors from non-theatrical backgrounds and bringing them to the stage - perhaps for the first time.
