Performing Arts

Theatre has always existed alongside my video work, with each shaping how I approach storytelling and collaboration. While I’ve worked across nearly every technical aspect of production—often leading crews—lighting design became the space where my creative voice most clearly emerged. Lighting for dance sharpened my sensitivity to movement, timing, and how technical choices guide emotional experience—skills that continue to inform my video and documentary work, inspired by the energy of live performance.

A behind-the-scenes look at my lighting design process for The Nutcracker: A Kansas Ballet (2022).

This production marked my return as a guest artist after previously serving as Associate Technical Director at the Lawrence Arts Center, and represents my thirteenth time working on the show, including my fifth as lighting designer.
