About Me
I’m a drama facilitator and creative organiser based in London.
My work moves between community, creativity and social change. Through Bechdel Theatre, I create spaces for queer and trans theatre workers to connect. As a creative practitioner, I lead participatory drama projects with a range of community groups and deliver arts-based domestic abuse prevention programmes for young people and professionals.
All the projects I deliver are underpinned by a passion for social change and the belief that drama in the community can facilitate healing, connection and vital self-expression.
I’m always engaging critically with how applied theatre can be anti-oppressive and how trauma-informed approaches can either make or break community arts. 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.”
