I direct as more of a lead devisor with solo performers, physical theatre based clowns, and actors in San Francisco and New York.

I have directed and coached hundreds of solo performers during the last sixteen years.

My solo theater directing is rooted in the pedagogy of The Marsh and as a former Director in Residence at StageWerx, both in San Francisco. Additional training received at Berkeley Rep and New International Performing Arts Institute in Berlin.

At The Marsh in San Francisco, I assisted then co-taught and co-directed with Charlie Varon (“redefining the medium” -SF Chronicle ) in his solo theater workshops from 2010-2019. Together we codified a pedagogy of our shared teacher The Marsh Artist-in-Residence David Ford (“Dean of Solo Performance” -SF Chronicle) with our own approaches. After a decade, I became The Marsh’s third longest serving teacher. Our award winning students have performed at theaters and fringe festivals all over the world including the Edinburgh Fringe.

StageWerx Theater invited me to be its Director in Residence from 2021-2023 supporting Solo Sundays one of the longest running solo performance showcases in San Francisco. I was the in-house Solo Sundays coach for eleven years.
