Oxford School of Drama

I am an Acting Tutor at the Oxford School of Drama. In 2023, I directed the BA Acting 2nd year students, in Helen Edmonson’s adaptation of Anna Karenina. I run courses in audition technique and devising and am directing the foundation course in their final project: ‘Small’ by Holly Robinson.

Richard III

I directed, with Geraldine Alexander, the second year BA students at Oxford School of Drama in their Garden Shakespeare project. They performed Richard III outside at the school and at Sarsden House to an invited audience. There was a company of 20 and 9 students played Richard.

KFF in The Gambia

I went to The Gambia in 2022 to work with Babou Ceesay at a drama school he established. I was there for 6 weeks directing with Babou alongside a vocal coach and a movement coach. We looked at Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and how it could be set in modern day Gambia. We shared the work predominantly in Wolof with english translations.

Rose Bruford

I directed a workshop of ‘The Patient Gloria’ by Gina Moxley with masters students at Rose Bruford. We explored the text as an ensemble piece using music, movement and film footage created by the students.

I have also worked as a guest lecturer with Theatre Design students at the Wimbledon School of Art.

Foundry18

I am the director for a group based at The Actors Centre made up of performers/writers/muscians and other types of theatre makers. Together we are creating an original piece of work through improvisation. This is part of the John Thaw initiative and has frequent public sharings.

White City Theatre Project NT Connections

I directed 'These Bridges' by Phoebe Eclair-Powell for White City Theatre project as part of NT Connections. WCTP are an affiliate young company at The Bush theatre made up of 11-19 year olds.

I also work frequently as a facilitator and in education. I run bespoke Shakespeare workshops in schools with a focus on getting children to use Shakespeare’s language to play and tell stories. I teach at The Actors Centre, working with professional actors as well as those looking to get into acting. Please get in touch if you are looking for someone to create and/or run a workshop as I am always looking to work in new environments and I am happy to create something specific to a new group or project.
