Theatre and the performing arts has the power to change minds, shift opinions, spark conversation, debate, and make real social, political and cultural change.

 

My practise is based in text-based theatre and working with diverse communities to let them tell their stories. I am deeply committed to my craft, the work of my fellow artists, and to the audience whom the work will be shared with. My passions span arts leadership, producing, directing, and dramaturgy. I bring intelligence, insight, and discipline to every project. I pride myself on being grounded and collaborative, ensuring that my directorial instincts foster both artistic vision and strong leadership within the rehearsal space and across each project.

 

My aesthetic embraces an imaginative approach to scenography while always prioritizing actor-centered performances. I love working with people and sharing my work with audiences. I'm an attentive listener, dedicated to continuous learning, and eager to contribute thoughtful experiences that are rich in meaning. I also frequent site-based work outside of traditional audience settings, that uses the space as a central element to the experience. This has included churches, museums and warehouses.

 

As a dramaturg, I work with playwrights in the development of new plays, and with theatre-makers in the creation of new performance works. I foster a compassionate, encouraging and productive environment where writers are both supported and challenged to make stronger work and realise the creative potential of their ideas.
