Nino as a director…

Nino approaches directing with the same foundation that guides their work as an actor: a commitment to storytelling that centers the human experience. Their work is rooted in a desire to serve the story fully, excavating truth, complexity, and emotional connection in every moment.

They are particularly drawn to narratives that challenge bias and invite audiences to expand their perspectives. Nino believes theatre should be immersive and immediate, collapsing the distance between performer and audience. Their work often utilizes three-dimensional space to integrate the audience into the world of the play, creating environments where viewers are not just observers, but participants in the storytelling experience.

With a focus on innovation, Nino is always seeking fresh, unexpected approaches to staging and interpretation. Each project is treated as its own living entity, requiring a unique process, vocabulary, and form to fully come to life.

Raised in a service-oriented religious community, Nino developed strong organizational and leadership skills grounded in care, safety, and direct communication. Their culturally diverse upbringing fostered an enduring curiosity about people, perspectives, and the world at large, an ethos that continues to shape both their artistry and collaborative process.

As a director, Nino is committed to building rehearsal spaces rooted in trust, clarity, and openness, where artists feel empowered to take risks and contribute fully to the work.
