Facilitation
As a facilitator, I regularly work with young people and community theatre projects. This can be directing shows, co-creation projects, and also integrating community casts into professional productions.
My practice centres around co-creation; collaborative making processes and movement.
I frequently work with learning disabled and autistic creatives and participants, as a creative enabler, director and workshop leader. Access is an important part of my practice, holding equitable and integrated spaces.
I lead two of Derby Theatre’s Youth Theatre, creating scripted and devised shows with 11-18 year olds.
I have worked with Derby Theatre, Birmingham REP, Sheffield Theatres and MENCAP, Plus One, Canvas and Hubbub Theatre Company.
