Movement Director Theatre Director Deviser Actor

I am a deviser and physical performer. I have created and directed my own work. My principle experience is in creating and directing movement sequences within shows that I have been contracted to work in as a performer. I am looking now to work on a team as a movment director.

I am interested in creating new devised work and physical movement in all types of shows. I am particularly interested in comedy sequences and helping performers feel the audience more.

I have experience in clown, mask, character multi-roling and creature creation.

I have taught character building for MoCap/Creature Performance and Animal Studies at Arts Ed on the BA and MA courses.
