Year in review

And what a year!

​I trained with the Jim Henson Company!  For three very fully, very intense weeks, I learned the Jim Henson Technique straight from the source.  What a life changing experience!  We spent half of each day doing on-camera puppetry, and the other half doing improv.  And this fantastic company continues to provide me with twice-weekly improv training as a new ensemble member of Brian Henson's Puppet Up!​

After my training, I got to WORK FOR the Jim Henson Company!  The training alone felt like an unreal dream, and at the time felt like it was as high as my career could go, so I was flabbergasted when I was hired shortly afterwards.  The project is currently under an NDA, so all I can share right now are these pictures from the company's courtyard :)

I debuted in Brian Henson's Puppet Up!  Right in the historic Charlie Chaplin Soundstage in Hollywood!  This was a dream beyond a dream beyond a dream.

I saw the Pacific ocean for the first time at Santa Monica beach!  The event was photographed (and styled!) by Anna Michelle Wang, who made this bathing suit from scratch for me.

Another secret project.  I reunited with two dear friends from my Henson training for this TBA web series.

I learned to draw!  These are some of my first drawings - character designs for puppets - one of which is finished, the other two have finished heads.  I'll have to update this later with pictures of the puppets :)

I signed with CESD Talent Agency as a puppeteer!!!
I continue to work with IPEX Artists Agency as a writer!
My writing is being performed: The Fantastic Tale of Rumpelstiltskin is happening right now at The Puppet Co. in Maryland, The Comedy of Wizards will premier at Super Secret Arts in Brooklyn this fall, and there's a TBA production of Gruff!​ coming up in 2023!
