I am a theatre practitioner specialising in playful approaches to performance from devising theatre to directing, to dancing and acting. I have a passion for theatre that incorporates movement, clown, mask, comedy and a strong ensemble as well as text based work. I currently teach at IC theatre Manchester and RADA, and have worked at many more schools in the past. I have directed for Les Femmes Ridicule, Goofus Theatre, Sophie Willan, Hotcoals Theatre Ensemble, Molly Orange and numerous student productions including adaptations of Mark Ravenhills 'Pool no Water', Peter Handke's 'The hour we knew nothing of Eachother'. The Miser and Alan Bennett's Kafka's Dick. I teach for Proud and Loud Arts, an adults with disabilities group, Facilitate Mothers Who Make Manchester and I co founded The Performers' Playground training course and Clownfest MCR.
