by Stephanie Mirto

Artist Statement

In a world overwhelmed by technology, I create experimental theatrical experiences in an attempt to restore humanity. The world around me is my inspiration. My work is geared towards a better understanding of the human experience. I set out to create a fusion between actor and audience. It’s about recognizing someone’s humanity and value when there is no common ground. It’s about creating shared energy between everyone in a space and in turn using that energy to fuel a performance. I create art that breaks through walls, barriers and borders that people put up when they are afraid to feel.
