As an artistic leader, Ariel aims to curate consent-forward and accessibility-driven creative spaces rooted in compassion that foster community care, empathy, and empowerment. Ariel is passionate about uplifting stories that illuminate difficult conversations and amplify marginalized voices.  She deeply encourages her collaborators to ask for what they need to be well in order to do their best work.  Ariel is particularly interested in supporting personal narrative work and stories that address health crises.  As both a Director and AD, she cherishes every opportunity she has to show up in supportive capacities in artistic environments and uplift raw and authentic storytelling and higher standards of care.
