I make plays with people. All kinds of plays. Plays that you sit and watch and plays that you walk through. Plays that put feelings in you and plays that give you ideas. Plays with a lot of words and plays that are mostly a series of juxtaposed sounds and images. Plays that are really dances. Plays that are really songs. Plays that tell stories and plays that make essays. Old plays and new plays. Plays made for audiences of 1 or 100 or 1000. Plays that unfold on stages, or in whole buildings, or on small table tops. Plays that surround you with spectacle and plays that offer themselves as discreet little gifts. Plays that start with scripts and plays that start with a group of people in a room. I live in Philadelphia. In my work, I am about collectivity, collaboration, and process. All plays are a process. If you don’t care about process, you don’t care about art. I am concerned with a quality of care and how it is reflected in the quality of the work. I am concerned with liveness.
I have made plays at The Arden, InterAct, Azuka, Headlong, Orbiter 3, The Flea, and with Adriano Shaplin, Kristin Linklater, Mary Tuomanen, John Jarboe, Michael Kiley, Annie Wilson, Cynthia Hopkins, and, of course, my beloved Applied Mechanics.
