Workshops
This is a list of workshops I have either instigated or been commissioned to lead. The work instigated by me usually stems from curiousity with an idea or story. Each story suggests its own method of presentation.For example Domestic Parkour came from a fascination with how we move around our living spaces using certain defined routes but unless we are kids we never divert from those by say climbing across sofas or on to tables. The Chalk Workshops are a repeated theme around ownership of space and the flexibility or otherwise of our public and personal spaces. Intimate Whispers was a desire to hear the inner thoughts of characters not as monologues but actual inner thoughts that are only shared with the audience.
Project B
A workshop I devised and led using movement and physical theatre to explore the effects of bipolar on an individuals life (devisor/director)
Chalk Workshops 1 & 2
Exploring ideas around boundaries, ownership and friendship. Provided actors with chalk to enable them to create changing environments within the performance space.

Led series of development workshops for Damaged (play). Explored the use of headphones to convey inner thoughts and the creation of a limited acting space measured around the actor’s body, created characters an outline of story.
