Longer & Brighter is a highly physical dark comedy clown performance exploring sanity, isolation, and what it takes to keep the lights running in a world that wants you in the dark. The piece explores the question of what your priority is: commitment to work, or the relationships that keep you sane. Through drunken acrobatics, repetitive tasks, and a haunting ending, youll wonder what we are truly working towards.

I am an artist, facilitator, arts administrator, and teaching artist based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the unceded territory of the Tiwa people. In my artistic work, I find myself drawn to the borders of theater, dance, and installation, curious about when and how those mediums blend together creating ephemeral experiences for the viewer. I often approach the start of a new project via a technique often referred to as moment work. Historically used as a way to generate theater and dance, I have found that it is an amazing tool for focusing ideas even in my work as an arts administrator. This method switches perceiving restrictions as limitations and reframes them as creative bounudaries, allowing me to hone in on what is currently possible. I use the resources currently accessible to me and allow them to shape what the project looks like.
The traditional conventions of theater have always felt stifling to me. I have always been drawn to making theater anywhere but a theater. In the field of a farm, the back seat of a car, the alley behind a popular coffee shop, utilizing the second-story windows of a building with the audience viewing from the street outside. As I began to play with more visual mediums my thoughts on galleries and museums became the same. Why can't the facade of a dilapidated building, or the sidewalks we use every day be our gallery? I have never tried to lead my audience to a specific endpoint, but rather allow them to experience the work through their own unique lens. I create work that offers people the potential for release. Sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes purely to inspire joy. So much of todays mainstream media is insistent on telling people how they should look, what they should eat, and how they should respond, I only set out to create a moment where the audience has the chance to feel whatever comes up for them.
In my work through teaching, I love sharing my skills in both circus arts and devised work creation with both youth and ad
