An essential extension of my theatrical practice is deepening my community’s relationship to art and the world around us through education and writing. I have worked with students ages five to eighty-five on subjects ranging from the Basics of Storytelling to Advanced Adobe Illustrator, and have written everything from high school lesson plans to social media copy.
