Theatre Director Choreographer Assistant Director Theatre Creator and Devisor Performer

My preferred pronouns are she/her.
I’m a director, choreographer, soprano, actress and dancer. I discovered a passion for bringing opera to new audiences, and making it feel relevant rather than archaic, whilst studying for my master's degree in Vocal Performance at Trinity Laban. I am passionate about using different approaches to theatre work to ensure that audiences connect with the material and leave a performance thinking about what they've just witnessed.
