I'm a freelance theatre practitioner, consultant, trainer and facilitator. Over the past 17 years I've built a career designing and delivering creative projects, often with marginalised groups and communities, in the UK and internationally.

I'm also a Global Master Facilitator for the British Council's Active Citizens Social Leadership programme, and Director of The Change Collective, an organisation exploring current and emerging thinking and practice linking arts and social development in the UK and internationally. I recently did a 2017 Ted X talk, titled Creativity and the Alchemy of Groups, about the work I do, and the approach I take.

My Churchill Fellowship was undertaken between October 2013 and April 2014, titled How Can Participatory Theatre Techniques Effectively Engage Young People on the Margins. My Fellowship took me to New York, Croatia and Brazil – a research trip collaborating with organisations using theatre and the arts with young people in the USA and Brazil.
