I am highly experienced in collaborative theatre making. My creative concern is establishing and facilitating the unique set of conditions a text and company requires. Developing and directing new writing and bringing an expressionistic approach to extant scripts. My practice and skills are designed to optimise creativity in the live performance space. The actors’ embodiment of the play is a core principle.
