Performer

My artistic practice spans acting, writing, devising and leading workshops.

My acting work includes:
Moliere’s George Dandin, directed by Phillip Osmond. The short film Welcome Stop, directed by Michael Achtman. My solo show Fat which I wrote and performed, which was also directed by Michael Achtman.
I took Fat on tour which included DaDa Festival Liverpool where I won the “Emerging Artist Award” of 2010. I also went with the show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival In 2012. In 2016 I was in the first production of Purposeless Movements, that went on a short tour of Scotland.

My other work includes:
In 2013 I was supported by the Arts Council England, the Barbican Centre and Guildhall School of Music & Drama to design and deliver performance workshops for people with alternative forms of communication.

In 2014 I was awarded an Unlimited R&D, exploring themes of rape and sexual abuse of disabled people through a mixture of realistic and abstract scenes.

I have also delivered accessible drama workshops for RAWD in Liverpool, spoken at the Integer ART conference in Geneva and at the Live Art Development Agency’s Access All Areas conference in London. I am currently writing a book which is based on my life.
