Upon Loss
June, 2025
Holly is just a young woman going through life, doing her best to make everyone happy and comfortable. Sure, she has demonic encounters and thoughts of death--but what's that compared to heartbreak? What will she do when there's nothing left to lose and darkness descends?
This horrifying, dramatic, and autobiographical production is devised of projections, live music, dance, comedy, puppet/creature acting, and a one-woman show--all meant to shock and draw in the audience on her experience with learning how to give yourself hope in a moment of complete darkness. Themes of LGBTQ+, sexual assault, spirituality, and medical trauma fill this physical, devised piece of dance and performance art.

Palomita
July, 2023
RuddyDuck Theatre Company’s Palomita is an experimental play incorporating improvisational dance, crushing guitar, and absurd visuals. The story follows a grieving sister, Clear, and her brother, Santi, as they watch a meteor shower. As Clear tries in vain to remember a song from their childhood, the pair begin to project their increasingly disparate emotions onto a pair of gigantic blue curtains as their friends become alienated and the world begins to crumble around them.
