I began my career as a Performance Designer specialising in puppetry. My main influences include Horse and Bamboo, Invisible Thread/Faulty Optic and Julie Taymore who direct and design their productions. I believe work that is created in this way has an entirely different atmosphere and visual impact than performances designed and directed separately. Projects I have worked on range from fully devised pieces to full text based projects. I enjoy exploring the themes and inspirations behind a piece and reflect that within the design.
My work is made, where possible, from recycled materials. This gives a new life to lost and broken objects and provides an antidote to modern technologically focused performance practices.
Additional skills:
Puppet making in wood, fabric, paper and many others,
Workshop leader for many arts and crafts activities as well as puppet manipulation.
