Theatre Director Assistant Director Participation Facilitator Dramaturg Movement Director

I am a recent English Lit graduate, professional actor, early-career assistant director, and aspiring theatre director. I am passionate about new work, but particularly how we develop and adapt classics to make them anew again. I also specialise in BSL-integrated theatre, and actor-musician led productions. I am looking to develop both my directing and assistant director experience, as well as widen my literary and dramaturgical knowledge.
