"Theatre makes us less alone. It brings us together and it shares stories.
Design has an under-appreciated yet crucial voice in these stories. I have a particular interest in the role of performance design in climate, class, race, disability and queer politics. Sustainability is a key concern in my practice.
I love community, collaboration and the sea."
