About me
As of 2023, I have been working in theatre for 10 years in a variety of roles. Alongside more creative work, I have steadily worked as a stage manager in fringe theatre as well as some larger projects, such as the incredible 14-18 NOW/National Theatre project, 'we're here because we're here'.I founded and was the Artistic Director of Front of House Theatre Company, which comprised of members who worked Front of House at the National Theatre. We performed at the Royal Shakespeare Company's outdoor festival in Stratford Upon Avon as well as working in conjunction with other large organisations such as the National Trust and the Royal Air Force Museum to create immersive theatre. We also produced an annual showcase of new writing that showed off the wealth of talent in our company.
In 2019 I started a new company called Shedlight Stories that is focused on highlighting incredible stories from history that are often forgotten about, in particular those of women, the global majority, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. In 2022, we were awarded Arts Council funding as part of the Creative Jubilee fund to create a multi-generational, community verbatim piece of theatre with a Southwark-based charity. 2022 also saw us premiere our debut show, 'Around the World with Nellie Bly', at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe which then went on to run at VAULT Festival in 2023.
I am a producer of an annual comedy night based on the works of Douglas Adams and work with charity Save the Rhino to plan and deliver an annual lecture in his memory.
Additional skills:
I have a background in dance (specialising in Ballroom and Latin) and have performed on TV, the West End, and film, as well as in 3 of the London 2012 Olympic/Paralympic ceremonies. I occasionally lend these skills to productions I work on, most memorably when choreographing a tap dance for a six legged alien.
