Producer | Dramaturg | Writer
Practice
I am a multidisciplinary theatre-maker working across directing, writing, dramaturgy, adaptation, and movement-led performance. With over 30 years’ experience across theatre-making, producing, and teaching, my practice focuses on developing new work, re-imagining classical and contemporary texts, and creating visually driven dance theatre from early concept through to performance.
I am the founder of Theatre Led Arts (est. 2008), created to platform emerging voices through new writing and interdisciplinary theatre-making. Through this I have led the development of multiple projects; working collaboratively with writers, performers and creatives to bring work to life across stage and community settings.
Through an MA in Dramaturgy I have deepened my focus on producing & dramatugy, with particular interest in seasonal programming, development processes, and working with new writers and theatre-makers. My work is grounded in a collaborative, workshop-led approach, often integrating movement, music and historical research into the development process.
My earlier career as a police detective continues to inform my dramaturgical approach, particularly in relation to stakes, power and human behaviour. I bring this into my work with artists, supporting the development of layered, truthful and dynamic storytelling.
