I am a performer, director, and teacher working in theatre and circus, based in Moray, Scotland. From a family of puppeteers, I have been working in theatre since I was little. When I started training aerial in 2010, at first only as a hobby, I became more interested in how to combine the physical body with the puppet on stage. Now my work is a blend of dance, physical theatre, puppetry, aerial, and circus, with a focus on the visual storytelling of human experience. I am interested in communities and connection, and in particular working with children and young people. I strive to foster creativity that is accessible, exciting, and imaginative.
I create my own theatre performances and events, sometimes directing and sometimes performing. I also work for other individuals and organisations as director, puppetry advisor, outside eye, and performer.
In 2018 I co-founded Moray Flying Circus, a small circus school based at a village hall in Dyke, Forres. We teach classes for children and adults, as well as put on events and offer performances and one-off workshops.
