(They/them)

For me, making theatre is about sharing experiences. Taking owenership of stories through the creative process and sharing that journey with an audience.

I enjoy work that breaks conventional methods of engagement and takes people out their comfort zone, blurring the lines between audience and performer, shifting people's perspectives.
