About Me
I’m a creative facilitator and organiser based in London.
As Creative Director of Bechdel Theatre, I build spaces for queer and trans theatre workers to connect, create, and organise. As a freelance practitioner, I collaborate with community groups to make participatory drama that challenges oppression and opens space for collective expression and healing. I also deliver arts-based gender violence prevention programmes for young people and professionals, using creativity as a tool for dialogue, reflection, and recognising healthy and unhealthy behaviours.
In 2025, I gained a Teaching English qualification, extending my practice into language learning, where I enjoy exploring how creativity and communication can dismantle barriers and build connections.
My work is grounded in the belief that drama in the community can be a radical act of care, a way to nurture self-understanding and collective liberation. I’m continually engaging with how applied theatre can resist colonial and oppressive structures, and how trauma-informed approaches can support genuine belonging, rather than replicate harm.
These questions shaped my 2023 Master’s dissertation, “We’re Not Therapists! The Integration of Trauma-Informed Practice into Applied Theatre: A Decolonial Perspective on Healing.”
