This section of my site is about "Where I'm Going" and
"Where I've Been" as an artist.
Where I’m Going
My goal in life is to wake up one morning and only have creative things to
do. I want to support myself as an artist. I want to always be a better actor
than I was the day before. I want to join Equity and SAG as soon as
possible. I want to perform great roles in great plays with great
companies. I seek an exciting, inspiring, creative home.
Right now I’m most jazzed by classical work and movement/ensemble-
based avant-garde work. If I could be performing or rehearsing
Shakespeare 365 days a year nothing could make me happier. I want to
do plays that are cutting edge, risky and heightened beyond TV realism.
In 2007 I did two different festivals of very short, weird, post-modern plays
and I've found that I like them a lot, and I like asking what qualifies as
"theater" or a "play". I want to do plays that dance between reality and
non-literal, avant-garde places. I want to do plays where the language is
so powerful, timeless and beautiful that the words land physical blows. I
want to speak text and ideas that make rooms gasp. I want to do theater
that has to be theater and could exist in no other medium. I want to do
readings and workshops of plays that are just being born and help shape
their development. I want to work in as many different mediums as I can to
make myself a better all-around actor. I want to work with actors and
directors who I can learn from. I want to work in casts where I’m the most
retarded actor in the room -- I want to have to fight to hold my own with
people who amaze and push me. I want to break gender boxes. I want to
play villains and kings. I want to play parts that are impossibly difficult. My
theater will defy stereotypes, challenge minds and connect diverse people.
