Director Researcher Teacher Performer

They/Them/She: Please also note I have Fibromyalgia and often experience 'Fibro-Fog' when I work.

I am a director with a specialism in improv, working mostly on modern play texts. I also create plays using a semi-improvised format where the world of the play is set, but the dialogue, movement and some plot points are improvised.

I have a love for (and exceptional knowledge of) 80s and 90s rock. I'm interested in working on plays with diagnoses that are stigmatised as anti-social. I tend to work on modern texts (1950s+) or adaptations, but would love to work more on Macbeth, King Lear or Richard I.
