artist statement
I am a theatre director/maker based in London with a keen focus on devised and collaborative work. I am particularly interested in work that is political and educational about the confusing and drowning issues in todays vast digital world. I am engaged by the methodologies of clowning, physical theatre, the post dramatic, and utilisation of the digital technologies. I am intrigued by these motives as the world has become slowly more difficult to revolt against injustice. Making theatre that speaks about these is a step into resolving them. For what its worth, I think it's worth a try. At the very least, it'll make you smile!

about
Originally from the North West, my directing/theatre background starts like many others- in after school drama and dance clubs. I found myself drawn to helping out with ideas for school plays and writing my own work. In college I became Musical Director for all the musicals that would be put on, and joined set club to be as involved as possible. I began devising my own work, and at University did a degree in devising. I am now in the process of completing my Masters in Theatre Directing.
My work is often devised, as I enjoy work that is personal and political. My work is often bleak but Always funny. It speaks the truth but may lie to get there. It might confuse you in order for you to understand.
I am co-artistic director at Harbinger Theatre, an emerging theatre company working in Immersive theatre audience experiences.I also do solo performances in the style of a clown, focussing specifically on highlighting the issues with the current government.My background of being a northern, working class, queer, trans artist shines through in each performance I make/direct. I am passionate about doing all that I can to educate and expose issues on behalf of the communities I find myself in.
