In the past I have had work commissioned and programmed by organisations including the Barbican, Shoreditch Town Hall, Brighton Dome, Soho Theatre, The Lowry, Brisbane Powerhouse, Melbourne Arts House and De Spil. As the producer at Ovalhouse (2012 – 2014) I led commissioning projects, programmed six seasons of work, supported award-winning artists like Christopher Brett Bailey and Rachel Mars and produced a Fun Palace.

Producing credits include Dip Your Toe (the Nightingale – Most Groundbreaking Act Brighton Fringe 2012), Keepers (The Plasticine Men – caravan Showcase 2012), & the Birds Fell from the Sky (ll Pixel Rosso UK & International tour 2012/13), Cheese (fanSHEN, 2013), Tighten Our Belts (Brighton People’s Theatre, 2016) & Yap Yap Yap (Gaggle, 2019).

I was the co-founder and Co-Director of The Spire, which until recently was a performance and development space in East Brighton. For over 10 years the organisation supported artists to develop new performance work within the local community, commissioned internationally acclaimed artists like Tim Spooner and Sheila Ghelani for presentations at Brighton Festival and hosted performances by Scottee, Cassils, Mykki Blanco, Laurie Anderson, Emma Frankland and many others in partnership with organisations including Marlborough Productions, New Writing South and Brighton Fringe.

Between 2016 and 2018 I managed a £500,000 Unlimited arts project for the British Council, developing a framework supporting disabled-led performance in Wider Europe with local partners in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Ukraine and UK companies including Candoco, Shape & StopGap.

Between 2011 and 2018 I was a Trustee of Dante or Die.

TalkShow
Executive Producer

TalkShow create and deliver live performance, participatory projects and work for digital platforms where the audience is at the heart and has an important role to play. The work flips modern fears and anxieties into collective experiences, often taking a familiar setting and transforming it to reveal something new. The company works with a wide array of collaborators and expect everyone, audiences and performances alike to dive in! 

'The work is always beautifully performed, cleverly constructed & tackles it's themes intelligently but with articulacy & humour'
– John Luther, South Street

‘TOOT's slick, clever little show plays astutely on that desire [to achieve], manipulating the audience's eagerness to be winners in the game of life’
– Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

In the past we have been commissioned by Ovalhouse, Shoreditch Town Hall, The New Wolsey & South Street & supported by Derby Theatre, the Lowry, Pulse Festival, Cambridge Junction & Latitude Festival. We have toured widely, to multiple regions across the country & to Edinburgh Fringe.

In 2021 TalkShow developed its fourth show Telethon in partnership with Shoreditch Town Hall and the Lowry. It premiered in 2022 and then toured the UK.
