MY background
While working with a large spectrum of small to large companies and producing houses in Wales and England, My ambition is to tell stories that matter and change lives for better. My works exhibit ambition, creativity, quality, and authenticity.
MY Craft
This is what I do!
Producing and Project Management
Do you have a show idea or a production that needs being made or looked after? Do you need a producer to take responsibility of your theatre or opera project to bring it to being and stage? Have a look here to see what inspires.
Directing
I tell stories through creativity on stage. My style is informed by text analysis, movement, rehearsals, collaboration, and creative choices. Have a look at some of the work I've been doing in this creative realm.
Consultancy
Are you looking for industry insight or vision about a particular project? You might be looking for professional advice, second opinion on planning and management of projects, problem solving or project diagnosis. I can help!
Storytelling
I practice contemporary dance and creative movement, as my artistic development. Storytelling is my medium for connecting culturally with the public as audience. Have a look at my practice here.
