Visually vibrant, Under the Tangle tells the story of a young orphaned girl lost in a mysterious wooded labyrinth. Throughout her journey, she twists along the maze finding numerous clues and meeting many unusual characters; a flock of whispering black birds, daunting labyrinth guards, and The Queen of the Lost who lives in the forbidding tower. Emily Bunning.

Theater Education

I compose and produce music for various children theater groups that produce original shows of quality for younger audiences. These include The Tree House Shakers and The Brooklyn Children's Theater. They perform regularly in New York and tour all over the United States. In New York they perform at The Alvin Ailey Theater and The Brooklyn Academy of Music.

Under The Tangle

Under The Tangle is a piece that was developed at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music by the Treehouse Shakers team. I composed new music using Eastern European instruments and rhythms.

The Boy Who Grew Flowers

The Boy Who Grew Flowers is a dance theater piece based on the classic children book of the same name. The Treehouse Shakers adapted it for the stage and I wrote new music using Appalachian instruments and influences.
