I am a performance artist based in greater London, currently studying for an MA in Advanced Theatre Practice at Central School of Speech and Drama. I did my BA (Hons) in Theatre and Performance at the University of Chichester. I'm interested in devising immersive theatre, politics, voice & narration, the study of human behavior, as well as satire and black comedy.
I have just finsished assisting an immersive virtual reality performance 'Dead Arise' at Camden Peoples Theatre with Aaron Reeves.
During my studies I am currently writing and
In my spare time I paint and draw.
Past performances/ work:

- Grade 5 in Guildhall singing examinations (I aim to pursue grade 8 in the near future) and a Silver Award LAMDA Musical Theatre qualification.
- University based project, performing and part producing the multimedia piece 'Digital Come and Go' (2012) using the performance platform Vimeo (which is linked).
- Solo devised piece 'Flick Of A Switch' (2013) a black comedy, incorporating multiple roles, to convey the ethics of failure of the justice system in the death penalty.
- Adapted, wrote and directed 'Its Raining Cats and Dogs (Death of The Autist)' (2013) a witty take on Death of The Author, by Rowland Barthes and manipulation of an audience seen through the eyes of an autistic person in a metaphorical world.
I'm looking to gain a variety of different experiences including, devised theatre, radio work, immersive theatre, stage acting, physical theatre, TV, period dramas, presenting, theatre companies, ensemble work and collaborations.
Most recently I have begun to take more interest in political and immersive theatre how it is perceived and its objectives in relation to audience. One of my inspirations is Ann Deavere-Smith, most know for her talks in TED.
