I graduated from the University of Warwick in 2012 with a First Class degree in Theatre and Performance Studies, receiving the Clive Barker Award for Performance. I later received a Masters from Utrecht University in Theatre Studies, where my thesis concerned the exploration of place and mapping in the work of choreographer Dan Canham.
I have created socially engaged performances, talks and installations for Battersea Arts Centre, DICE Festival, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the International Community Arts Festival and Take Me Somewhere Festival (Beyond Strangers). Along with creative work, I have also worked for the Kiln Theatre, Arcola Theatre, Studio Wayne McGregor, Youth Theatre Arts Scotland and as a Project Evaluator for REACT Festival of refugee theatre. I am currently Mentoring Manager for Borderlands in Bristol and I sit on the board of acta Community Theatre.
My most recent performance, It's Where We Go, was part of 2021's Folkestone Fringe Festival, b-side Arts Festival and Electric Medway. More details can be found at itswherewego.com.
