About
UK based freelance performer, theatre maker, and facilitator, trained in Devised Theatre and Performance at LISPA, I also hold a Masters in Integral Movement & Performance Practice.
​
Working across the languages of mask, movement, mime, puppetry, clown, and embodied writing, I'm interested in ways that performance might point to both the deeply human, and the more than human. I'm interested in where stories come from, in situated knowledges, the Feminine, and the place where individual experience might meet something like the Universal... if there is such a thing.
​​
Being on the road is my happy place and I've toured extensively in the UK and internationally, performing in opera houses, theatres, arts centres, community centres, gardens, schools and hospitals. Much of my practice is rooted in the pedagogy of Jacques Lecoq & Suzanne Bing and I enjoy offering workshops for professionals and non-professionals, adults and youngsters alike. Between '20 - '23 I taught movement and devising at Arthaus.berlin: Centre for Post-graduate Theatre and Performance, and have been a core member of the team delivering drama workshops for student nurses at Kingston University since 2016.
