I work with artists, creative teams, communities and organisations to develop creative work, strengthen collaboration and create conditions for meaningful participation. Whether you’re developing a performance, setting up a creative group, navigating a challenge in your practice or bringing people together to develop a shared direction, I’d love to hear about your project.

Directing, Dramaturgy & Outside Eye

I work as a director, dramaturg and outside eye across a range of projects presented in professional and community spaces, including Bristol Old Vic, The Wardrobe Theatre, RWA Bristol, Bristol City Hall and Windmill Hill City Farm.

My practice includes participatory, devised and co-created performance, site-specific and promenade work, multidisciplinary live art and theatre. I work with artists, creative teams and non-professionals to develop ideas, explore form, context, make creative decisions and strengthen the relationship between performers, audiences and place within live events.

I have particular experience working with autobiography and non-professional performers, including disabled adults and young people, people experiencing mental ill health, neurodivergent people and people with learning disabilities.

I can support you with:
– Directing and developing new performance work
– Dramaturgical support and an outside eye
– Devising, co-creation and participatory approaches
– Working with autobiography and lived experience
– Creative development, rehearsal and performance structure

My training includes Forum Theatre and jokering with Cardboard Citizens, The Silent Approach with Separate Door, and scriptwriting at the Royal Court Theatre.

For: Independent artists, performance groups and companies, community groups and education providers.
