Before joining National Theatre Wales, I was Artistic Director of Camden People’s Theatre from 2006-2011. During my time at CPT I focused on working with emerging artists on innovative projects including Frequency D’ici’s Paperweight (Fringe First), Daedalus’ A Place at the Table (Time Out Critics Choice), The Other Way Works Black Tonic, and Laura Mugridge’s Running On Air (Fringe First). As a director my work includes Icarus 2.0, nominated for a Stage Award and a Total Theatre Award, Ariadne, Point & Shoot, www.wappingaudio.org and most recently Roy’s Wallet (Pulse 2011).

I have also worked extensively as a stage manager and production manager and taught at Central School of Speech & Drama, GSA, LABAN, Mountview Academy and for the NYMT.

I have a degree in Drama & Theatre Arts from Goldsmiths College, an MA in Advanced Theatre Practice (Directing) from Central School of Speech & Drama and am Fellow of the RSA. I am a board member of dANTE OR dIE Theatre.
