For Hire

I work as a dramaturg, mentor, sensitivity editor and workshop facilitator in Creative Writing, Performance Practice and Theory, and difference-consciousness training for the arts and heritage sector. My approach is grounded in anti-racist, anti-capitalist, intersectional feminism. Drop me a line for details, rates and availability.

PERFORMANCE

My performance practice explores notions of authorship, authority and normative economies of the gaze, the opportunities and traps of hindsight and hope and what it means to look forward to an increasingly wily future. My recent work has appeared in the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Latvian National Museum of Art, Barbican Centre and Tate Exchange.

The Whole Darned Thing

“Deal with it kiddo. Life’s no fairytale. Now sleep tight, and if you have a nightmare, DON’T WAKE ME UP.”

Back in February I joined Deborah Pearson on her podcast series “The Whole Darned Thing.”

My job was to tell Deborah the entire plot-line of something they have seen or read; I chose the Little Mermaid.

Enjoy!
