PERFORMANCE Languages Language is the tool of my trade. Whether that’s spoken or written, symbolic or functional, natural or artificial.

As an actor I treasure the exploration of sounds and movements of other languages. Even those I do not speak fluently yet, for lack of vocabulary or knowledge of syntax.

When given a script to read from, and some time to explore the sounds, I can make it a performance. LISTEN TO EXAMPLES

CREATIVITY Artificial Aside from studying existing languages, I’m also incredibly fond of making my own. Every word, every decision, is a new story. To create sounds that form patterns, that become units of thought, that become concepts that may be similar but are never exactly the same as our own. That's why I love conlanging.

I am not a linguist by any means so it's not a professional construct; rather, it’s a labor of love and excitement. The oldest one I have created, called Imuhin, is over 15 years old, and was originally inspired by Arabic, Aramaic, Turkish, and Farsi.
