Currently assisting Rod Dixon at Red Ladder on "The Shed Crew" - a site specific production in a warehouse in Leeds, based on the book 'Urban Grimshaw and The Shed Crew"
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Graduate 2015 (MA Theatre directing)
Having initially trained as an actor I am fascinated by the actor process.
I have bases in the East Midlands and South West
I am a director and have worked as a workshop facilitator for Bristol Old Vic, Prime Theatre, Lakeside Theatre Nottingham, Nonsuch Theatre and Salisbury Playhouse.
My work is collaborative, and ensemble driven. My taste borders on the absurd, and I tend to work closely with a designer to use bold colours, and large physical characters. I often integrate music into the process from the very start in order to create a world for the actors and audience.
