NAIADS, is a new theatre company I started during the 2020 pandemic to create theatre for underserved families in the Isle of Wight. We created an immersive promenade piece of theatre, Forest Fables, families encounter curious creatures and storytellers working to restore the balance in nature whilst imparting environmental and life lessons along the way. I produced a film of the experience following the journey of the show, available to stream on OnJamTV. This summer we have created a series of puppetry and storytelling workshops with local island primary schools and a public art installation in partnership with the National Trust.
