CREATIVE FACILITATOR

ACTOR, WRITER, DRAMATURG ​​AND STORYTELLER

I've been working as an actor for over 25 years across TV, Film, Theatre and Radio. Credits include Tinkerbell in Peter Pan at the Nationa Theatre, Ben Gunn in Treasure Island at Bristol Old Vic and Mr Chadley in Pennyworth for HBO Max.

I became increasingly interested in writing and dramaturgy through collaborating on devised shows and have created my own work and supported other theatre makers. My plays include three solo shows, The Tiger and the Moustache, Strictly Balti and In Search of Goldoni as well as a new version of Hansel and Gretel for Insane Root Theatre Company.

Alongside my artistic practice, I have developed a creative facilitation practice, working with schools, universities, creative organisations and businesses, developing and delivering one-off workshops and longer term mentoring and support.
