I make work that sits somewhere between physical theatre, clown, music, surrealist and achingly private diary entries.

I love to wail and scream and weep and bellow be alive and question who I am in the world right now.

And I love to learn from others who want to do the same.

Clips featured in the video -

opening audio - “Move House” - original composition pondering on why all my contemporaries have the same dream to move to an idyllic commune by the sea… What are we running from I wonder?

“Snookie” - is a embryonic creature, evolving from research for a new opera about a post-apocalyptic future where only slime-moulds and mushrooms have survived the nuclear holocaust.

“The Chaos of Villainy” - explored the allure of evil ideas on the psyche and the very human and real ability to believe want we want to believe through reinforced cognitive bias. The piece was a patchwork of texts from baddies of both fiction and reality, interspersed with operatic outbursts.

“Big Berg” - is a solo show exploring ideas of failure, achievement, what it means to be ‘important’. It follows the well thumbed journals of Antarctic explorers, with a surrealist twist.

“Wizwitch” - is a disillusioned rave wizard who roams parties and festivals.

“In Reno” - extract from collaboration with Waste Paper Opera Company, exploring love, expectation and 1980’s Las Vegas.

“The Conductor” - a simple character study exploring how I feel about the transportive power of music.

“Roquefort: The Woman who was found in a bin” - a wonderful woman with an operatic past and a blurry present, inspired by legendary surrealist artist Leonora Carrington’s novella The Hearing Trumpet.

“Big Berg” - an original composition from the show.

“Territories - Trickle-down Land” - extract from my music-theatre performance which transformed 9 songs I composed on a hitch-hike journey across Europe into a performance piece, exploring ideas of European identity, privilege and adventure (thanks to Edith P for this hit, though).

Crowniños is weekly early years kids group I have been running since 2022 at The Crown in Hastings.

Every week I pick a different theme - eg TIGER, SOCKS, BLOB, ALIENS, THE MOON, TIME - and tell some stories, waft some props around, sing loads of songs, dance to (loosely) related music.

It’s fun and silly!

Looper: Looped is a live-streamed adventure through the mind of a woman, in a barn, on the Somerset Levels, on the earth, floating in space, drifting in the universe (wherever that might be...)

This piece first streamed at Festival of Change with Dollybox Theatre, and then developed with a HomeBrew Commission from The Brewhouse Theatre & Arts Centre, Somerset.

Looper was a response to Covid-19 causing me to move out of the city and back to the place of my childhood.

The Pilgrim’s Way …

…is a new pilgrimage route tracing the old journeys of St Chad in the West Midlands. We are developing a playful, affectionate and beautiful new piece of performance art en-route, inspired by the people and the places through which it passes.

From Tatenhill to Lichfield… Songs, sounds, INstallations and stories.

Coming in 2021

in collaboration with Dominic Biddle and Jim Ralley.

The Pilgrim’s Way has been developed by Rali Studios and funded by the Heritage Fund and the British Pilgrimage Trust.
