Bio

Hi! Christopher-Elizabeth (they/them), a (deep breath) Queer Afro-Indigenous interdisciplinary storyteller, designer, and dramaturg. I’m really interested in the inner world of the audience, which I explore using a combination of immersive and interactive design. I hope challenge audiences to notice the sounds they only hear when it’s too quiet, to think the thoughts they’ve silenced, and to remember their playfulness and their wonder that never quite aged away.

I care deeply about creating a nurturing creative process. Something doubly important when working with emerging artists. I aim to make a safe space for artists to discover, to play, to develop to….Pickle. If we can feel safe being a little silly, I call that a win, and if we can make our audiences feel the same, even better.

What do you say to a pickle in the morning?
Rise and brine.
