DMP Artist Educator Statement

 DMP Artist Educator Statement                While creating this final product, I strengthened my love for the actual making of theatre—the way that the devising process permits theatre practitioners to be engaged in the act of creating what the piece is. This collaborative creative process has continued to teach me about theatre’s power to bind together individuals and strengthen relationships through the act of cocreation. As an artist, I’m interested in continuing to work on pieces and create art that fosters unity, because I think it develops us as artists and strengthens artistic work.
