SERVICES
Alongside originating and developing my own projects, I collaborate on new commissions and partnerships, offering artistic direction and strategic expertise across a range of contexts.
Working with individual artists, small and large organisations, bringing together a playful approach, creative rigour and strategic thinking.
My work supports bold artistic projects and inclusive, future focused practice, grounded in imagination and care.
( I also undertake selected performance work, most recently appearing in Slung Low’s A Homecoming.)
