About me
I have always loved telling stories and since graduating in Drama I have caught the puppetry bug! I trained at the Curious School of Puppetry in 2016 and since then have worked professionally as a puppeteer for the Puppet Theatre Barge, the RSC, Shakespeare's Globe and Bristol Old Vic.I am fascinated by the power of puppetry to create worlds and act as a kind of empathy machine for audiences. Puppets can do things actors can't, they can fly, transform, die or eat themselves....they have the power to provoke powerful emotional responses in an audience and to start conversations about surprising ideas.
I am very excited by the growth of puppetry as an art form, both in theatre and in film and TV with the development of motion capture and practical effects. As a performer, with some experience of acting and physical theatre, I am keen to broaden my horizons and explore the new possibilities of the puppetry world.
I am also a writer, director and theatre maker and have puppetry directed for the RSC as well as directing shows at Shambala Festival, Theatre N16 and Camden People's Theatre.
