She/Her

Hi there!

I am Deviser/ Theatre Maker and Director raised in the West Midlands (Worcestershire) and now based in London. I moved here 6 years ago and have dedicated my work to inclusion based theatre and practises; facilitating workshops and making theatre which is fun for all involved.

I've trained as an Actor/ Deviser and love to collaborate with emerging Artists and Companies as well as Direct too. I find that collaborating with kindness, inclusive practice and fun are the best for making work- if you can't find the joy, what's the point?!

I'm interested in work aimed at young people as well as work that is enjoyable for all; the performers and audience a like.
