About me

From storytelling to aerial dancing, I have played a range of characters from the common cold to the Queen, including a Mum (Middletons, World of Wedgwood & First4adoption), an aristocratic lady (Volpone, Sherlock Holmes II) and an aerial dancer (Prometheus Awakes). I have also facilitated TIE workshops both in the UK and abroad.

Most recently, I have completed a “Finding the Trickster Within” Workshop with Arthaus Berlin, an Autobiographical Theatre Workshop with Bryony Kimmings, Introductory Training with Frantic Assembly and an International Summer School in Physical Theatre with IUGTE in Austria. These workshops have continued to evolve the skills I developed during my post-grad in Physical Theatre at Royal Holloway with the Jasmin Vardimon Company. Other workshops I have attended include "Margaret Morris Movement - Colours, Design & Well-being" (Sara Lockwood/DanceBase), "Touching the Void: Devising - Autobiographical Theatre" (The Lyceum), "The Poetic Body" (Thomas Prattki, LISPA) and "The Expressive Body" (Kate Hilder).

Additional skills:
Academic studies in performance, psychology, law and science communication.
Recreational activities include dance (Bollywood, ballet & contemporary), gym, zumba and yoga.
Basic Stage Combat skills.
Australian and British citizenship held.
Basic French and Spanish spoken.
