THEATRE

I am a collaborative theatre maker, and I have a few different theatre-y hats in my cupboard. As well as performing and puppeteering, I am also a director, writer, and dramaturg, and I have recently created shows with companies including Slot Machine Theatre and Discover Children’s Story Centre.

 

I love working with storytellers and solo performance artists as a director and dramaturg, helping them to bring their vision to life on stage. If you are keen for an outside eye on your show, please get in touch!

I am the co-Artistic Director of The Suitcase Storytelling Company, blending theatre with oral-tradition storytelling. We make shows for all ages, and have developed work in partnership with venues all over the UK, including The Southbank Centre and the Scottish Storytelling Centre, where we have enjoyed many sell-out shows. Our debut show The Girl and the Dragon won the Derek award for Best Children’s Show at the Edinburgh Fringe 2022.
