Lets get into it...

Peyton is a multidisciplinary creative drawn to process-driven work. Her devising practice is rooted in play and structured improvisation with a focus on community and a commitment to building pieces that challenge form and invite conversation. Especially now, it is the responsibility of artists to hold a mirror to society and often times start the difficult dialogue. Together we can make a more thoughtful tomorrow.

The Angler Fish

This piece is a tribute to the deep sea anglerfish that took the world by storm in spring of 2025. No one knows why she left her home in the depths to swim for the surface though many imagine she wanted to see the sun for her first, and last, time. Peyton's version of the story ends differently. May we all fight to see the sun and live to tell the tale.

Putt Putt

Putt Putt is a devised theatre piece that follows the final chapter of "Grandpa's" life where their greatest moments, inner monologue, and declining health unfold through the lens of Putt-Putt. The piece effectively combines slapstick clown and hard hitting emotional truths.

As a lead deviser and core creator, Peyton wore many hats throughout the process. She was one of the key “weavers” who helped shape the final story from the many threads that emerged during early development.

Unearthed

Unearthed is the thesis production of Peyton’s seven-person ensemble at Accademia dell’Arte. Rooted in deep ensemble collaboration and developed entirely through structured improvisation, Unearthed tells the tragic story of three sisters on a journey for power and connection after the loss of a parent.

Boys of Accademia

A hilarious exploration of the buffoon of society, this performance took place at Teatro C'art in Castelfiorentino, Italy and was directed by André Casaca.

A quote from Arthur O'Shaughnessy's "Ode"

We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;—
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
