I am an accomplished theatre-maker with over 30 years of experience, and a unique ability to work at both a strategic and grassroots level. I am a leading expert in co-creation, inclusive practice, and participatory theatre, particularly with marginalised communities, supporting young people and those with SEN/SEMH needs.
My work on inclusive, participatory practice is included in the WJEC/Eduqas GCSE Drama Study & Revision Guide and was showcased Internationally at the Catch the Wave festival in Denmark, Osaka City University’s study of inclusive communities in Japan, and featured heavily in the new Arden Shakespeare publication ‘Multi-sensory Shakespeare & Specialised Communities’.
I am the author of several books and the recipient of numerous awards including the National Creative & Cultural Skills: Creative Choices Award.
I am also known for a notable appearance on the Graham Norton Show, as one of the few trailblazing female street performers of the 1990’s.
I started facilitating and directing in the mid-1990’s, working with many organisations including The Globe Theatre, London Bubble, Soho Theatre, Polka, Mousetrap Theatre Projects, the Royal Academy of Dance, and I was the Education Officer at Unicorn, before establishing SAVVY Theatre Company.
