I was part of the team that wrote and performed ‘Shrine of Everyday Things’ (Dir. Lowri Evans, Rodolfo Amorim and Renato Bolelli Rebouças), which won a Manchester Theatre Award and ‘Under the Covers’ (Dir. Stacy Makishi and Nathaniel J Hall supported by Wellcome Collection as part of the Sexology Season) a show devised by the company which toured to the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh, Battersea Arts Centre and Southbank Centre.
