As a director, my main area of focus is text-based work, staging new writing, or reworking existing texts for a contemporary audience. As a multi-disciplinary creative, I also tend to sound design each project I direct. I frequently create work with puppets, multi-roling and live music.
I enjoy working collaboratively with a creative team, leading R&D processes alongside writers, designers, composers and devisers to develop new work.
