From Drums in the Night
by Bertholt Brecht

a mixed cultural identity has fueled my creativity.
As the son of a scientist, a career in the arts was not encouraged. Still, my father nurtured an interest in biology and anatomy which led to my becoming a physical therapist. As a lover of the written word, I expressed myself creatively as a writer of poetry, plays, and short fiction at a young age. This background has proven to be an unexpected gift to my work.
In directing, I discovered my passion at the intersection of these two key aspects of my experience: language and physicality. My work brings clarity to text and storytelling, while highlighting the grace and fluidity of the human body. I believe in theatrical experiences that are highly visual, emotional and physically dynamic.
I am honored to have been selected as a 2011-2012 Emerging Artist of Color Fellow by New York Theatre Workshop.

The creators of the acclaimed Black Watch, director John Tiffany and choreographer Steven Hoggett, join forces with playwright/screenwriter Enda Walsh (Penelope, Hunger, The Walworth Farce) to bring the hit independent film ONCE, winner of a 2007 Academy Award for the hit song “Falling Slowly,” to the stage.
On the streets of Dublin, an Irish musician and a Czech immigrant are drawn together by their shared love of music. Over the course of one fateful week, an unexpected friendship and collaboration quickly evolves into a powerful but complicated love story, underscored by the emotionally charged music that has made ONCE an international sensation.
