Artistic Statement
My name is Allen Porterie and I am a curious human who explores their questions through various performance modes. I involve myself in projects that are emotionally rich and thought provoking. I activate the hearts and minds of an audience equally. As a world builder and storyteller, I inspire vision through the narratives I lend my voice to. Calling forth the imagined future into present reality is my mission. I hope you’ll join me in the journey.
