About Me
I am a performer and theatre maker from Naarm (Melbourne), Australia. My solo performance practice uses devised processes to combine original, poetic text with physical performance to examine how a queer feminine gaze operates in theatrical spaces.
As a collaborator my practice is based across Naarm and, London where I am an ongoing company member of experiemental performance collective ClusterFlux (clusterflux.co.uk) and presented across Edinbrugh Fringe Festival, Amsterdam Fringe, Sprint Festival (CPT) and more. I was previously Co-Artistic Director of Australian experimental performance collective The DIG Collective with performances at Melbourne Fringe Festival, White Night Melbourne and various other events and festivals.
I also frequently perform and facilitate across a variety of mediums as well as running workshops for physical and devised theatre, improvisation and Shakespearean language.
I am a graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) BFA Honours (Theatre Practice) (2019) and Royal Central School of Speech and Drama MFA Advanced Theatre Practice (2022).
I have previously been supported by the Ian Potter Cultural Trust (2020) and the Keith and Elisabeth Murdoch Fellowship (Theatre) (2021).
