Theaterwissenschaft:
I am studying at Ohio University School of Theater as an MFA Directing Candidate. At O.U. I have been awarded the Original Works Grant which took me to Berlin, Germany. A workshop encounter with The Gob Squad during their time at the School of Theater helped me decide to pursue this curiosity leading me to Germany.
After my experience, I developed a goal to strive for a communal love of the modern theater as the Berliners seem to posses no-matter where I go and work. Most importantly I hope my work reflects my tendency towards and my admiration for devised, collaborative, and post-dramatic creations.
I am on the hunt for plays that feel ethereal. I am questioning, "What makes a good script?" and I am finding the more attached to a location, the less interested I am in the work. Why is that? What makes location such a factor in storytelling? What are the exceptions, and why are they exceptions?
