​Directorial Approach

Tapping into absurdity, I invited each character’s relationship to status to unfold organically through improvisation and physical play. Moments like an overnight guest stealing Mark’s favorite bathrobe or River’s painting rituals taking on a life of their own emerged from letting silence and impulse lead the storytelling.
