Director Movement Director Theatre Maker Physical Theatre practitioner

I am an emerging director, theatre maker and movement director specifically interested in making ensemble led, devised, visually bold theatre. My work is rooted in physical and visual storytelling and often feels epic in scale a real experience for audiences. At the heart of the stories I like to tell are personal and emotional connections.
