Eric Graise

My background as an actor, dancer, and singer gives me a deep respect for the body, voice, and spirit as equal storytellers, and I carry that into every rehearsal room.

I’m especially drawn to devised work and to the challenge of making big stories out of almost nothing — a gesture, a fragment of text, a spark of music. That process, for me, is about collaboration, trust, and the courage to create something larger than any one voice in the room.

My vision is to keep building work that feels human and alive, while also looking toward the future: one day serving as an artistic director and professor of theatre. I want to shape spaces where stories, artists, and students alike can grow — places that honor complexity, celebrate resilience, and keep theatre a vital force for connection.
