Singer Songwriter Lyricist Deviser ProducerShe / Her
I am a singer, songwriter & theatre maker with 25 years of professional experience. I work across genres in musical theatre, cinematic folk, visual and auditory storytelling and am interested in exploring ways to engage and reach new audiences through mixed media storytelling.
I am interested in the cross-narrative potential of music, image, film, spoken and written word and am keen to work with artists from different disciplines and socio-economic backgrounds. I write from a female perspective about life events, womanhood, intragenerational social mobility, nature, self-perception.
