I'm an artist, creative director and producer - sometimes a project needs me to be one of those things but more often it’s a combination.
I work across live performance, interactive experiences, digital and broadcast - often at the intersection of forms, bringing projects to life from concept to reality.
Some of my most defining projects have been about transformation: turning the roof of the National Theatre into a space for dreaming, translating Rambert’s Peaky Blinders dance prequel to film for BBC, making public art that changed who we see represented in our streets for Heritage Open Days.
I'm a founding artist of non zero one, a collective that has been making pioneering interactive work for audiences since 2009 and was co-creative director of North South, an internationally award winning production company that filmed live performance for screen (broadcast and cinema).
I believe strongly that the arts should be accessible to all, that creative ambition and reach aren't in opposition. Making work that meets people where they are means asking the right questions first, then finding the form that lets the idea travel furthest or resonate the deepest.
Through my work with The Space Digital Arts I've developed a practice of supporting organisations and artists to make digital projects, often defining a new area of creative development for them.
I’ve also supported organisations through periods of creative and organisational evolution, bringing a maker's instinct to questions of programme, structure, process, audience and change. I'm increasingly interested in strategic, policy level questions of cultural leadership and place - exploring how culture can shape communities and civic life, and bringing the same creative rigour to those questions as I do to making work.
