I am an emerging freelance Director, I loves to work with material that reflects and challenges current social and cultural paradigms, questioning the role of art in contemporary society. I really wants to champion regional theatre and new writing from local artists and working class voices, more importantly he enjoys working with material that is accessible and resonates with ordinary people
