His most recent work “Sonder” is an immersive dance-party theatre experience occupying three stories of the historic Eagle’s Hall building in downtown Salt Lake City. “Sonder” had a 6-week sold out run and was seen by over 1,200 people, many of whom returned multiple times. His next large scale immersive theatre work, “Apple Falling,” is centered on questions regarding inheritance and legacy. “Can you control how far the apple falls from the tree?”
