I'm offering
I believe art can and should take place outside of theatres and galleries.
I have activated community spaces for a range of artistic mediums including circus, theatre and music.
I have produced shows and projects in care homes, libraries, found spaces, digital spaces, schools, shops, forests, nightclubs and outdoor public areas. Each project has transformed a community venue into a canvas for a artistic work.
I believe in the power of communities to tell stories and create change.
Everybody has a story to tell. The projects I’ve run have connected marginalised communities to professional artists and artistic processes.
My interest is in facilitating the voice of communities through high-quality performance.
