Working all over the place, but mostly in London or my hometown of Basingstoke, I tell stories using theatre, film, music and technology. (Sometimes all at once.) Usually as a director, but as a writer, dramaturg, producer or general creative collaborator when the project calls for it.
A trained filmmaker (first class BA Hons from Westminster Film School) with over a decade of experience working professionally in the arts, I'm particularly excited by exploration of the new - be it new ways of developing plays, projects that incorporate emerging technologies, or leading participatory projects that open storytelling up to those without a creative background.
As a theatre director, I have worked with organisations such as the National Theatre, Young Vic, Royal Opera House, Nuffield Southampton Theatres, Salisbury Playhouse, Garsington Opera, Roundhouse London, Trafalgar Studios, Theatre503 and Basingstoke Festival, and have directed shows at Assembly Hall and Gilded Balloon for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. I have assisted directors including Richard Jones, Iqbal Khan, Edward Dick and Tim Albery, and worked for two years with White Horse Theatre in Germany, the world's largest touring educational theatre company.
I have been an Associate Artist of Proteus Theatre and a recipient of the Young Vic Jerwood Assistant Director and JMK Assistant Director bursaries, and ran Creative Garage - a development and performance space for theatre-makers in the South of England.
My work as a filmmaker includes WRESTLING YETIS, which was described in the Independent as "funny, heart-warming... a sweet comedy" and has been screened at venues including the BFI Southbank, the House of Commons, the Olympic Park and the Roundhouse. Other films have screened at venues including Channel 4 HQ and Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles, and on ShortsTV and BBC Big Screens around the country.
I also create video content for charities & arts organisations. Sometimes this is for use in performance, sometimes developed as part of participatory workshops, and sometimes straight promotional videos - but always drawing on my experience and training as both a theatre practitioner and filmmaker.
Unrelated hats include having a hardcore interest in water efficiency (including speaking at events/summits around the world) and being a "Global Theme Park Expert" according to the Discovery Channel. Still can't decide which gets me more nerd points.
