Who Am I?

I tell stories on screen and stage — but mostly in site specific and non-conventional spaces. I work across a spectrum of genres (my screen portfolio ranges from pitiable stoner to ruthless crime boss).

My theatre experience includes:
Black Fox Theatre's Bard Wars: A Hope Renew'd (2012), The Empire Striketh Back (2013), The Jedi Returneth (2014); Fran Barbe's dance​/​theatre project Exquisite (2016 & 2013); and frequent work with Emanate Theatre: The Cross & The Switchblade (2013), The Hiding Place (2014), Chariot: The Eric Liddell Story (2016).

I have trained in the Suzuki Actor Training Method, and love to explore aspects of Grotowski's ideas & the Odin Teatret.
