Talks & Workshops
​I am an experienced public speaker, facilitator and workshop leader. I am a strong believer in everyone’s right to take part in and create culture, regardless of their backgrounds & identities and I actively raise awareness about it whenever I can.​

Creativity
I work with adults from all walks of life to devise performances that are meaningful to them, using a range of tools including Theatre of the Oppressed. Workshops can be one off/stand alone or part of a broader programme; in the community, for professional artists or a mix of both.
Previous projects include the Arcola's Women Company or my collaboration with older people in Rotherham. Tasters and training clients include the D.E.M.O programme; Mousetrap; Rotherham Creative Network; Common Wealth Theatre Company; The Bare Project.
Consulting
I work with organisations, movements and informal groups providing expertise to support them to enact change.
​
I am currently part of the Leadership Group at the What Next? Movement for Culture and was an Innovator in Residence at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.


Advocating
I raise awareness around topics I am passionate about including access to and democratisation of culture, the four day working week and workers’ rights.
​​
Past engagements include: the Freelance Taskforce (sponsored by LIFT); Freelance Futures - Leading independently panel; the Arts and Theatre Institute in the Czech Republic; Central School of Speech and Drama; WOW Festival in Rotherham and guest lecturing at University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam amongst others. ​​ I am also one of the a founding members of Migrants in Theatre Movement.
Training
I develop workshops to share my knowledge in performance making, creative producing and change making. ​
