Director’s Note: On the Director
Director | Choreographer | Singer | Dancer
“Because I have worn so many hats, I share common language with my artists. My fluency extends to both sides of the table.”
“She’s someone who has really done it all [… and] does all of those things at the highest level.”
“She’s someone who has really done it all even though she’s quite young. She’s had kind of parallel paths of being an opera singer, stage director and choreographer [and] works for companies doing intimacy directing and stage combat choreography. She does all of those things at the highest level.”
—Eiki Isomura, Artistic Director at Opera in the Heights

“Each show is an opportunity to distill a core idea that leads us through a facet of our messy humanity. Once you find that core, everything aligns.”
