My work investigates the interactive connection between the puppeteer, puppet, performer and audience. My interest in this interactive connection stems from my experience growing up in a household where one language was spoken, without speaking or understanding that language. My art seeks to bridge this gap through creating pieces that exist and interact without a predetermined language. I seek an environment where performers and the audience can interact outside of the predetermined scripts of society, creating their own language through an improvised interactive experience.
