"I believe that theatre is meant to change and adapt to the times we are living in. Theatre is meant to be absurd, experimental, and exploratory. Theatre should give audiences access to ideas they may not have considered otherwise. Theatre should adapt to attract a younger generation of artists that want so desperately to work but don’t have an outlet for their creativity and skills."

Clove enjoys productions that break these norms and they create shows with more involved interaction from the audience, bringing them into the world of the play, or simply asking them questions that make them think about the world around them. Clove specifically enjoys directing horror, dark comedies, plays that bring awareness to important topics, and abstract or absurd art.
