Edward Sturm

Stage Director | Theatre Artist

Artistic Philosophy

I believe that live performance draws from humanity’s most essential wellspring; I believe that theatre, like the surface of water, is not only reflective, but has beneath it a world unto itself; I believe that diving into this artform, we can move with new freedoms and limitations, we can find sunken histories and forgotten stories, and that we might emerge fundamentally changed.
