ABOUT

I am a director, dramaturg, writer and actor. I work in various capacities in the creation and development of new work and adaptation and with a focus on devised, collaborative, interdisciplinary and movement led work.

​

I am founder and Artistic Director of Flight of the Escales with whom I direct and produce original work for theatre and film.

​

 I trained at Jacques Lecoq and The Central School of Speech and Drama and in documentary film at NFTS. I have

 trained further, observed an assisted practitioners and companies including; Complicité, Gecko, Fabulous Beast, Lost Dog, The Wooster Group, Song of a Goat, Yuko Kaseki, Total Brutal, Vanishing Point, NT Studio and Phillipe Gaulier

​

As a performer, I work mainly as a devising actress, specialising in physical theatre. I have developed projects with companies including; Good Chance, Offstage, Fevered Sleep, Blind Summit, Made in China, The National Theatre, Old Vic New Voices and FanShen. I am an associate artist and work regularly with Tangled Feet and Moving Dust. I am also a puppeteer. I'm not performing so much these days as am focusing more on the other side of things, but do stretch my body and voice bits from time to time.

​

I've lived and worked in Germany, Spain and France and continue to work internationally and collaborate with creatives and companies around the world. I received funding from the Arts Council and an EU STEP grant to fund research into multi-lingual collaborations and adapting work for an international audience.

 

As a teacher and facilitator I've taught at various places in the UK and internationally.
