Playwright Poet Director Dramaturg Musician

I'm a dramaturg, playwright, poet, and director. I'm also a musician and have collaborated with composers, visual artists, and photographers. I've published several books of poetry and two novels. I've written multiple verse drama for performance. I've also created poetry films, as well as graphic design for all the publications. I have also created a portfolio of set design, and I've had a pavilion I've designed and constructed featured in ArchDaily. I have been a scriptwriting tutor with City Academy.
