I'm a Scottish freelance theatre director, dramaturg and facilitator.
I love to make theatre filled with heart, epic stories and hopefully some live music too! I believe that everyone should have access to watching and making theatre. I am interested in finding better ways of working and being innovative in how we approach theatre making. Everyone should have a voice in the rehearsal room and I prioritise making it safe, collaborative and playful.
I trained in directing (Classical and Contemporary Text) at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
