Creating Provocative and Entertaining Work that reckons with Uncomfortable Subjects Relevant to the Times We Live In.

I am an interdisciplinary performance artist working across circus, physical theatre, comedy and live art. I create provocative and entertaining work that reckons with uncomfortable subjects relevant to the times we live in. I am driven to create performances that connect with diverse audiences, outside of the walls and expectations of traditional theatre spaces. My work is highly visual, with an approach often based on juxtaposition, teetering between comedy and tragedy.

I’ve worked as a performer and director with companies such as NoFit State Circus, WildWorks Theatre, Mary Bijou Cabaret and Social Club, Kitsch and Sync and EGO Performance Company. I am a co-founder of The Bad Eggs Theatre Company and a former member of Splatch.Arts Collective.

I have a vast experience of teaching and facilitating creative processes for young young people and vulnerable adults. I have gained my knowledge through working and training with companies such as NoFit State Circus, Hijinx, Extraordinary Bodies, EGO Performance Company and Louise Orwin.
