Hi! I'm a Choreographer, Movement Director and Director living in Hastings.
I originally trained in Dance and Physical Theatre and then went on to study Musical Theatre for three years at Mountview. I worked as a performer in both musicals and plays and then also began to explore immersive theatre, puppetry and clowning. In 2016 I moved over to the creative side.
Through supporting performers, my aim is for them to feel empowered and confident. Freeing up performers is a big focus of mine so both those who tell me they have two left feet (that's never true by the way...) and those who are experienced technical dancers can reach new physical dimensions and always move from truth and connection.
Having also worked as a Resident, Assistant Director and Director, I have keen eye for detail. I work closely with all of the creative team to make our work fluid and collaborative. I hope I can bring a wide range of skills into a rehearsal room.
As a creator I am passionate about engaging with a wider audience though physical and imaginative storytelling. I work with the charity The Flying Seagull Project who visit areas of crisis around the world, primarily in refugee camps, bringing joy through dance, music and play to those most in need.
Music has a huge influence in my life and work so I adore working with actor musicians and on multi-disciplinary shows.
I also teach and choreograph at a number of top drama schools and am a trained Yoga and fitness instructor.
