I’m an experienced & versatile theatre-maker, actor, director & writer. I’ve collaborated with a number of companies producing high quality, often award-winning, often new work (eg Caroline Horton & Co, NIE, 1927, Dancing Brick, Peepolykus/Verity Standen, Common Wealth Theatre, The Plasticine Men), both for stage & for screen. My work’s been seen at notable venues nationally (Tobacco Factory Theatres, Bristol Old Vic, West Yorkshire Playhouse, Lyric Hammersmith, The Arcola) & internationally (including in Asia, North America & Europe) &, on screen, has been BAFTA-winning. I’m a Lecturer in Acting (Dramaturgy) at Bath Spa University, specifically training student-actors in physical practice & creating their own new works, as well as Shakespeare in performance. I trained at Ecole Philippe Gaulier.

My work’s been seen at notable venues nationally (Tobacco Factory Theatres, Bristol Old Vic, West Yorkshire Playhouse, Lyric Hammersmith, The Arcola) & internationally (inc in Asia, North America & Europe) &, on screen, has been BAFTA-winning.

By nature a collaborator, I am always keen to get involved with other Bristol-based artists, companies and theatres, be that as an actor, director, writer-cum-dramaturg or composer/musician.
Hoping, therefore, to hear from you and/or meet you…
Cheers
