Hello! My name’s Laura (she/her) and I believe the arts have infinite potential to bring us, as people, closer to ourselves and each other. In my work as a theatre artist, educator, and collaborator, I am propelled by my interest in how aesthetic practices support healing, cultivate belonging, and shape change.

As an applied theatre artist and performer, I create community-engaged projects and performances that imagine vibrant futures and abundant possibilities.

As an educator and teaching artist, I nurture the creative capacity of youth and adult learners through arts-based pedagogy and practice.

As a collaborator and consultant, I embrace experimentation and exchange in order to build programs, processes, and structures that are both accessible and sustainable.
