Bringing a Powerful Voice to the Spoken Word

Our personal lives shift, and with these shifts, the balance in our careers as artists. And while tectonic emotional jolts might rock us, they inspire creative growth. My creative perspective changed when I divorced, met a Scot, moved, changed up what was comfortable and familiar, and navigated the story of an American in Edinburgh, Scotland.

On cue, the overture shifted from D minor to D major – from condemnation to a chuckle. “Mozart had a sense of humor, undercutting the grandiosity of tragedy with a laugh.

‘Inver Joe‘, Stephanie Vlahos

I’m an artist. My art is the voice, and I sing in different mediums.

I’m an author, a creator, a stage director, and a mentor. I began as a singer, and I’ll always be a singer. Music is my inspiration in everything I do.

My work focuses on people, their feelings, their challenges, and how they use their voices to speak up. 

As an author, I tell stories that speak to the challenges of being human and the joy of being human, where the paranormal, the parallel universe, and the random alien might simply act as metaphors for our realities. (See Mercury’s Wake – The Long Weekend)

As a creator for stage, I specialize in collaborative works that are generally cross-cultural, but shed light on our commonality. (See WeAre Adaawe, Pacific Cinderella) My recent endeavours have been for the solo artist, drawing on my solo work and envisioning the tangential story that an individual artist wants to tell.

Most importantly, my years as a mentor dedicated to the voices of young people signify my enduring commitment to the voices of children because I fear their voices are not heard. My work focuses on authentic voices – raw and unfiltered. (see Never Say… and Full Circle Opera)

The following pages are as much about my creative journey as my professional work.

The show is a lively, beautifully staged, stark and vigorous facsimile of drama and music.
