Ariel is a plucky polymath* of devised theater and puppetry, with comedic, absurdist tendencies.

Ariel is an award-winning collaborator, writer, and performer.

Ariel has performed nationally, internationally, Off-Broadway, On-Camera, with and without puppets. Directing is her current infatuation.

She has coached puppetry, movement, and devising at places like The Public, Puppet Kitchen, Cornell College, and Physical Comedy Lab, and has participated in residencies including PATCH (Henson Carriage House), Celebration Barn (ME), KO Festival (MA), and Object Movement Festival (NYC).

Ariel really wants a dog.
