Performance

I’m obsessed with performance. I’ve studied it for years and from a very young age. Acting, singing, dancing, performing, composing, choreographing, long-form improv… I love and remain fascinated by all of it. That said, I have something an ambivalent relationship to performing myself. As such my work is often deliberately formally erratic, blending comedy, tragedy, music, and storytelling, learning to play the piano, writing around a specific genre of 90s indie music - you name it, I’ve delved into it.

I think of my performance projects as the unwieldy offshoots of disciplining my neurodivergence into written form. Consider yourself comforted by the knowledge that you’re in a safe pair of hands, but my shows explore the virtue of mess, they’re unmannered, experimental, and genre-curious.

No More Mr Nice Gay

A TED Talk? A play? A tragicomic self-referential musical? Yes. I will be diving into my villain era. Starting very soon.

A taster?
