Facilitation is the main bulk of my work. I have over 15 years experience in facilitating theatre workshops with various communities, including people who have experienced conflict and violence such as survivors of DV and female veterans. Also working with people with disabilities and chronic health conditions, PTSD and experiencing societal injustice and inequities. This work rooted in Theatre of the Oppressed has seen me invited twice to lead workshops at Newcastle University for academics, researchers and engineers regarding building sustainable communities and using theatre as method and theatre as inquiry.

​

I prefer to work in authentic cocreation processes and I have enjoyed working to brief - such as responding to Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums Collections to create a theatre piece for Festival of Women. I have facilitated many community projects with Workie Ticket Theatre CIC during my time as Co Artistic Director.

​

My work now involves more young people, disabled and non verbal young people and around the sharing awareness of LGBTQIA+ issues - I have been an LGBTQIA+ Awareness trainer for 5 years with Curious Arts and often run their LGBTQIA+ Curious Youth Group.

​

I enjoyed a long term residency and contract at Northern Stage as their Young Company Lead Facilitator and cocreated our sell out performance for Stage 2 - 'Am I Alone In this?'

​

Most recently I have been approached by visual artists to co facilitate their participatory workshops which included creating a city centre public art mural which you can see hanging in Newcastle's Historic Grainger Market.
