Artist Statement

I am a multidisciplinary artist, performer, and community weaver whose work lives at the intersection of performance, ritual, ecology, and collective care. With over two decades in theater and performance, my practice returns again and again to the body as archive, stage, and site of transformation. My current research has been based in applied permaculture studies, regenerative community/ecosystem formation and adaptation, event curation, and how these can be explored through performance, or how they can inform performance methodologies.

Rooted in play, satire, and speculative imagination, I build worlds where pop culture meets permaculture—spaces where joy and critique live side by side. I’m currently a 2024–2025 Princeton Hodder Fellow, developing Shasta Geaux Pop presents: Shasta Greaux Crops—a multi-year immersive project blending regenerative agriculture, music, and satire to explore climate justice and cultural legacy.

Performance is the thread that runs through all my work—from stage to soil. Recent projects like Gather (g)Round invite communities into seasonal cycles, ancestral knowledge, and more-than-human kinship. Whether in a black box theater, gallery, or farm field, I create spaces that foster reflection, humor, healing, and collective imagination.

My work is rooted in building ecosystems of collaboration, reciprocity, and sustainability—partnering with artists, organizers, and everyday people to craft experiences that are as grounded as they are visionary. Honoring the past while stretching toward possible futures, I ask: In a time of collapse, how do we grow and gather? What do we carry—and what must we compost?
