DIRECTION - Physical Theatre, Character & Comedy Specialist
I work one-on-one with performers and actors, bringing my training in Lecoq-based physical theatre pedagogy, and my love of physical comedy to bring nuance, depth, life and comic complexity to characters of all kinds.
Working through the body, I use exercises in contemporary clowning, mimo-dynamics, mask, butoh and physical devising techniques
to disrupt habitual patterns of movement and unlock your freedom to play.
