John has performed or worked on over 25 shows in the past four years both academically and profesionally. He has worked to increase equity in the field for Queer, BIPOC, and Nuerodivergent Humans with Directors and Production Team Members to ensure that theatre is accesible to everyone, and tells meaningful stories to audiences. Notably devising Earnest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea into a staged performance curated for Neurodivergent Humans, who often cannot view a full length staged musical or traditional play in collaboration with Graduate Students. His work with Dance Workshop at Wayne State University has been tantamount to his continued love of Dance Theatre and devising - they have focused on themes from domestic conflict to the police state surveillance of the modern world.
