I work with performers, actors and musicians. Often in close collaboration with directors, I identify and work to refine character physicality, non-verbal communication and composition in space. I offer an outside eye during rehearsal processes and practical solutions to individual needs. My influences include Rudolph Laban and Irmgard Bartenieff’s principles, safe body-practice and my experiences as a performer, choreographer and director in a range of contexts. I enjoy working in and for many contexts: theatres and non-traditional performances spaces, for live action, film, gigs and photography.
