Well, hello there! 

I am a director and playwright advancing the form of research-based devised theatre. As a storyteller, I revel in excavating and uplifting lost and hidden voices. As a writer and facilitator, I am dedicated to making brave space for new narratives.

RECENT EVENTS

In October 2023, I was invited to be a guest artist in residence at Brown University where I presented a lecture and led a workshop in devised investigative theatre, using the methodology I've developed for my theatre company, The Anthropologists.
