Training
My BA in English from The University of Nottingham involved a significant drama practice and theory component to it, with my central specialism during my studies there being in the early modern theatre and conflicting interpretations of such (both on stage and on screen).As an invited member of the Company to the National Student Drama Festival in 2016, I undertook modules in directing in the round, interpreting Shakespeare in performance, physical theatre and on musical theatre theory (amongst others).
