Personal Statement: As a queer-identified artist who writes and performs solo narratives, I am particularly interested in how solo work is always simultaneously shaping and shaped by community. I write about my own experiences (as an adolescent and an adult) in hope of experiential connections with my audience.

Writing from personal experience consistently draws feedback of recognition from audience members, which is a reminder of how important it is to share our stories with one another—and the stories they tell me become, in turn, a part of my performance.

I work a lot with camp as a format, because I am interested in the possibilities that camp performance has for elucidating the performative façade of gender. I want to take gender and sexuality apart—because they do operate as part of a well-tuned social machinery—and see what makes them work, whether as mechanisms of oppression, or freedom.
