theatre maker, facilitator & community producer with roots in physical theatre, clown and participatory processes

 

I host workshops, performances and conversations, that seek to invigorate the imagination and deepen interconnection between humans and the world we inhabit. Regardless of the field I operate in, my work is grounded in a commitment to play, empowerment and a just, fair ecological transition.
