Ryan is adamant about his belief that performers are never finished with their work; there is always a deeper layer of understanding which we can reach through analyzing, questioning, and experimenting. To Ryan, theatre and film allow us to better understand each other by creating empathy through story-telling. ​It is not only a basic human right, but also a privilege, to make sure the world hears good stories.
