The Monster Menagerie

A new solo show that merges a lifelong penchant for fantastical creatures with the expanding theatrical scope of my performance practice. The project weaves new and recently-composed works for speaking and moving flutist into a cohesive dramatic arc that interrogates themes of hybridity, otherness, and the porous boundaries of humankind through musical portraits of our greatest fears.

Currently under development – stay tuned for more info!

Scholarship

My research examines the depiction and performance of monstrosity through sound by applying sociocultural theory to musical analysis, with a special focus on the many reinterpretations of the mythological Chimera.
