I am a migrant theatre director and facilitator based in London. My work combines ensemble, theatricality, movement and multimedia to create compelling, atmospheric pieces that speak to our contemporary world.
I enjoy creating performance across multiple genres and disciplines, bringing a strong visual style and collaborative sensibilities to all my work, whether it be a musical, new play, physical theatre, or even solo shows. Much of my recent work focuses around technology, migration, disability, and circus, though I'm always looking for a new challenge!
Alongside my directing practice, I am furiously passionate about community support and advocacy work and can often be found working with partners, mentoring emerging artists, providing free producing support and connecting creatives together. I facilitate workshops across the UK in topics such as devising, ensemble theatre and producing.
I have an MFA in Theatre Directing from East 15 Acting School, a BA in Drama from the University of Washington, and have trained twice at the Russian Institute of Theatre Arts (GITIS). I have further training in other physical disciplines including clowning, movement direction and aerial circus, and in theatre disciplines including lighting design and producing.
I am the Co-Artistic Director of the award-winning, migrant-led Halfpace Theatre, who foster opportunities and career development for underrepresented artists.
