Action and Horror Reel

“As a performer, I am always in service to the piece I am working on, listening for its heart beat and breath, creating opportunity for those harmonic moments where audience and actor touch like a finger on a violin string. I am also a driven educator, a passionate director, and a take-no-prisoners kind of person. These rivers of my life converge in my role as Artistic Director of Shearwater Productions.” – Holly Adams
