OTHER THINGS
WORKSHOP FACILITATION
I have probably facilitated hundreds of workshops over the years. (Probably thousands, now I think of it. Definitely a thousand. Excuse me while I have a mild existential crisis.) I have worked with companies including Discover Children’s Story Centre, The Science Museum and Freshwater Theatre creating and delivering workshops on topics ranging from recycled musical instruments and code-breaking to rockets and the Anglo Saxons.
I also create bespoke storytelling-centred workshops, so if there’s something you would like to work with me on please get in touch!
AUDIO
Through the necessity of sorting the sound for shows I have created, I have developed my skills in sound design and audio production – so much so that I now get approached by other theatre companies to help with their sound design. I honed my skills even further during lockdown (what’s a girl to do when she can’t tell stories live?) and have now made several longer form audio dramas, some of which have been part of audio-based installations. Some of the projects I've done audio and sound design for are:

I do GOOD JOKES
I am an enthusiastic collector of Excellent Jokes. And by that I mostly mean puns. Some of my favourites are here (I’ve spared you my shaggy dog stories), but my collection is always open to new offerings…
Did you hear about the explosion in the French Cheese Factory?
All that was left was
de brie!
A 4-foot psychic has just escaped from jail...
... there's a
small medium at large!
I would tell you that one about the pencil...
... but there it's got
no point.
