Me
I am a London-based performer, singer-songwriter, choreographer, musician and teacher. Over the last decade I have been performing and collaborating with theatre companies and schools, bringing movement and music expertise to amateur and professional performances and projects across the UK and internationally. More recently I have been performing my own songs at the piano at gigs across London.
Training
I have classical training in ballet and piano. I studied BA French and Drama at the University of Birmingham and completed a Masters degree in Advanced Theatre Practice at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in 2017.
Solo work
This year I am focusing on songwriting and solo performance. Having released my first single Treading Water at the end of last year, I released a piano album Moments and am working on my vocal album Little Love Stories and second piano album Not The End due to be released in 2023. During the pandemic I explored screen-based work at home, creating a personal project: Lockdown Creations. I also took part in the Choreography Days 2020 residency, producing 19 short dance films.
Collaboration
After my first degree, I co-founded Trip The Light Theatre, which toured two original contemporary dance and physical theatre shows in the UK in 2015-16. During my Masters year I co-founded The Fun Club which presented work at Camden People’s Theatre and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Since graduating I have performed and collaborated with Orange Moon Theatre, The Heroine Chronicles and Idle Discourse, whose productions were performed in London, New York and Lithuania respectively in 2019. In the same year I worked on an independent series of short dance films and created my first play Ariadne & The Monsters, a physical and musical adaptation of the Greek myth Theseus & the Minotaur, first presented in London at my local community theatre, The Questors Theatre.
Performance
In addition to the above companies, I have performed as an actor and dancer for the BBC, The Royal Opera House and This Is It Theatre at the Vault festival and Sprint Festival 2018. I am also a singer with Peregrina EnChantica, an award-winning vocal ensemble which has toured around the UK and Bulgaria.
Young People
I teach Musical Theatre at Stage West and facilitate Pupil Premium projects in primary schools with Wizard Theatre. I have choreographed Bugsy Malone, Robin Hood and Hairspray for Questors Youth Theatre, and Beauty and the Beast for the Ellen Wilkinson School for Girls in West London.
