Denis’s mission:
“As an Artist, Creator and Educator; my true calling and mission is to empower the individual through their own uniqueness and diversity as a person. No two individuals’ experiences are the same. And through that level of self awareness, we begin to deeply understand , authentically respond and truly respect the lives of others. It is from this platform that I approach my work as a Teaching Artist and Theatre Director. We are all creators…so let’s create together!”
