About Me
I am a freelance artist working within theatre and performance based in the West Midlands; I devise work, perform and direct. I also facilitate workshops and lecture.
After graduating from DeMontfort University in 2006 with a first class honours degree in Performing Arts I have been developing my artistic practice as a theatre practitioner through devising new work, directing and choreographing. I have previously received support from Birmingham’s DanceXchange, research and development funding from Fierce Festival and an Arts Council grant; I have also performed both nationally and internationally with Stan’s Cafe Theatre Company. I employ a varied and interdisciplinary approach, having produced site-specific productions, installations, films and street theatre as well as more traditional styles of performance.
I am experienced in working as a community artist, having led participatory workshops with children, teenagers and adults and lectured at Birmingham Theatre School for 5 years. I am particularly interested in the arts, in their many facets, as a tool for social and personal change and the opportunity it offers for those involved to have positive and meaningful experiences.
I also have a keen interest in all the arts, crafting, animals in general and cats more specifically! Please get in touch on the link below if you’d like more info or share my passion for wide-eyed, fur-covered mammals.
