My portfolio of work encompasses writing, directing, devising, dramaturgy, performing, composing and workshop facilitation.

Speaks of Rivers’ debut show The Fourteenth Stop premiered as part of Upstart Theatre’s DARE Festival at Shoreditch Town Hall in February 2021 and has since toured to Camden People’s Theatre and Arcola Outside. In 2020 I co-founded Speaks of Rivers, a physical theatre company who use puppetry, spoken word and music to create original stories for young audiences. In 2018 I made my West End debut as a performer in Caroline, or Change, I have since toured with The Phantom of the Opera and participated in workshops of new musicals at the Park Theatre, Actors Church, and National Theatre Studio. I am dramaturg with Orange Tree Theatre’s Writers Collective, an Associate Artist of the National Youth Theatre, and a reader for the Bruntwood Prize 2022.
I trained as an actor at the Royal Academy of Music, having previously studied Music at the University of York. My creative practice focuses on collaborating with others to reimagine canonic material and creating original work which champions global majority voices. Hello!
