CAROLYN GUIDO CLIFFORD
Director and Choreography Portfolio
My directing and choreography exist at the intersection of naturalism and theatricality. I am most drawn to new plays and to reimagining classic works—both plays and musicals—to uncover their contemporary relevance. In the rehearsal room, I foster an environment of lively discussion while prioritizing both physical and emotional safety. I believe the most impactful theatre is transformative, immersive, and community-driven, creating space for bold storytelling and meaningful connection.
