After graduating from the University of Wolverhampton in 2009 with a BA Hons in Dance Practice and Performance, I have worked in a variety of arts and events roles across a multitude of practises that include music, circus, comedy, dance and theatre. As a performer within a number of these practises, I have moved onto managing and producing theatre, including the set up my own performance company ‘Legs Akimbo’, that specialises in comedy & theatre taking place at festivals and events. Since creating Legs Akimbo in the summer of 2012, we have performed at several of the biggest UK festivals and at Falls Festival in Australia. We have also just completed our all new interactive stage show 'The Church' and headlined Camden Rocks Festival, The Great Escape Festival and due to headline the Tax Deductible venue at The Secret Garden Party 2013. Legs Akimbo supports the breast cancer charity CoppaFeel and were commissioned to write their campaign song 'You Gotta Check your Boobs in the Shower' which has been featured on Channel 5 and performed at the CoppaFeel comedy evening alongside comedians such as Russell Kane and Tiffany Stevenson.
My past credits include:
Producer & Writer of immersive theatre experience 'Dr Clive's Circus' from 2010-2013, selling out shows at the Arcola & Jacksons Lane Theatre.
