Liturgy for Longing in Development

My next solo project in process, *Liturgy for Longing*, has been awarded a 2024 Individual Artist Commission from Arts Mid-Hudson! I am currently working with the script, as well as creating a sacred text for the piece called *The Book of Longing.* To see more click about on solo shows, Liturgy for Longing.

This play was a beautiful exploration of Patsy’s music and her friendship with a sassy, mama bear Texan with heart (Louise—that’s me!) Jessica Welch is an absolute treasure as Patsy, and the band is swinging!

PhD Thesis Project
I am a part-time doctoral researcher at the Shakespeare Institute. My research looks at the problems modern actors encounter when dealing with emotion in Shakespeare’s plays, and through research into the the early modern period, emotion studies, and actor technique, will seek to offer tangible solutions for actors to apply in the future.

Artistic Mental Health Practitioner
I am currently in training to become a certified Artistic Mental Health Practitioner through the fabulous Association of Mental Health Coordinators. This will allow me to facilitate and uplift mental health within my current work as a teacher, actor, and researcher.
