Sorenson
I am a director and theatermaker whose work centers around bold visual storytelling, intentional reimagining, and finding genuine humanity in plays both intimate and epic. Marrying rigorous dramaturgy and textual analysis with striking physical and aesthetic vocabularies, my work conveys to performers and audiences complete and nuanced worlds, able to house complex stories and dynamic characters.
Grant is currently pursuing his MFA in Directing at Boston University. Originally from Minneapolis, MN, his directing credits include work at the Guthrie’s Dowling Studio, Open Eye Theater, Crane Theater, Maison Bodega, 7th House Theater, Everwood Farmstead, Wayzata Theatre, Minnesota Fringe Festival, and more.
Prior to his career as a director, Grant studied and worked as an actor for over 20 years. His work as an actor has been seen at the Guthrie, Theater Latte Da, Children’s Theatre Company, Yellow Tree Theater, The Playwright’s Center, New Epic Theater, and many more.
His interests as a theatermaker include early modern drama (especially Shakespeare and his contemporaries), turn-of-the-century Scandinavian and Russian drama, as well as early queer playwrights. Working with classical and heightened text in ways that speak immediately and passionately to our current time is his main interest as a theatermaker and director.
