Kia ora! My name is Sam and I am an Auckland-based theatre maker hailing from Dunedin. I studied a Bachelor of Performing Arts (and a Bachelor of Laws) at the University of Otago before moving to Auckland in 2020. After a quick stint as a lawyer and a slightly longer stint as a public servant, I am now (as of June 2023) taking the leap into the arts to pursue what I love most. I am passionate about creating high-quality art that helps people to fully experience and better understand their own rich emotional worlds, and brings JOY into people's lives, as this is what art has done for me.
