I make visual theatre, write absorbing stories and produce moving and poltical experiences through performance and participatory arts.

I am a trained dramaturg (Royal Central School of Speech and Drama) and have collaborated on creating a range of brilliant productions for children and adults which you can read about here. I’ve also worked in practical advocacy for the development of dramaturgy in the UK though long-term work with the Dramaturgs Network. As a freelancer, I make total theatre which communicates using all the many languages that theatre offers and my particular interests are political theatre and theatre for the veer young.   I run my own visual theatre company TouchedTheatre and participatory arts project ArtAid exploring how puppetry and film making can support young people in crisis.

As a freelancer I produce the projects I’m really keen to see come to the stage. Follow this link if you’d like to find out more.

An Arts journalist for many years (working as an editor for Total Theatre magazine), I am building a career as a writer for performance, particularly writing for visual theatre, childrens theatre and interactive forms and you can read about recent writing projects here.

All of my work is driven by the ambition to articulate stories from the margins and to develop powerful, evocative theatre forms that invite audiences in and surprise their expectations.

I live in Brighton and my work is influenced by the sense of living on an edge, where the South Downs meet the sea.  I am a parent and being a mum is now an interwoven part of my practice.
