THE VISIONARY

Cheryl’s best skills include:

• Seeing how a new work or idea can come to life
• Identifying what resources are required
• Putting those elements together with a strong sense of collaboration
• Cheryl can accomplish this through direct management or through introductions and guidance in the steps required along the way
• In her own words, “As a leader, I prefer to guide and advise, then get out of the way, allowing artists and production staff to grow with their productions”

As a leader

• Reshaped a legacy company
• Led innovative changes across many dimensions:
• Collaborations with different companies and skills (Urban Jazz SF, Pocket Opera, Ars Minerva, etc.)
• Technology (online, video, etc.)
• Artistic product (new or updated works)
• Production techniques (extensive use of projections)
• Casting that reflects the community

As a consultant

• Advise composers and librettists through review of works in progress, provide active feedback
• Advise stage directors on viability of new concepts and where they can be produced
• Research and advise on various collaborators
• Provide personal introductions
• Help develop budgets and production models
• Present on artists’ behalf if they wish
• Be part of the team

Cheryl loves to work with fellow artists who seek to tell stories that open our eyes to our shared humanity through the mediums of theatre and music.  Is that you? She’d love to hear from you!
