Puppetry

“Puppets allow a person to express things through this surrogate that wouldn’t normally get expressed. You know there’s famous techniques of puppet therapists. Put this hand puppet on and tell me what the problem is.” — Wayne White

Clay Art

I love to create, and to me, the ultimate freedom of expression is a blank canvas or a block of clay to capture whatever emotions your imagination gives it. - Daniel Boulud

Story Telling

“It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.” ― Patrick Rothfuss

Theatre Production and Solo Performance

I regard the theater as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being. -Thornton Wilder
