About me
Emerging theatre director, writer and dramaturg based in London. My work focuses on the intersection of class and gender and often includes elements of the occult, folklore and mysticism. I have been published in Red Pepper Magazine, Palm Sized Press and Samfiftyfour literary magazine. I am co-founder of Don't Tell the Village Elders Collective, a network of BPOC and queer spiritual practitioners looking to reclaim practices from capitalism and colonialism.
I have written for theatre since 2017. Most recently a short extract from a piece I wrote called 'Beneath' about the Ponds was selected for MultiStory Productions new podcast. My play 'Living Alone' about the housing crisis and the construction of class was due to debut last July and I am now adapting the piece for film. Works currently in progress include: 'Vine Press', about queer occultists and 'Sycorax' about Algerian identity and colonisation.
I am producer, co-host and editor of 'Hitched on the Astral', a podcast dedicated to matchmaking through the lens of natal astrology. I produced and edited the entirety of Season 1 which debuted in March 2021 and am due to start recording Season 2 at the beginning of July.
Projects
- Blue Eyed Hag'Hast thou forgot the foul witch Sycorax, who with age and envy was grown into a hoop?' Sycorax is stuck, banished, abandoned. Alone and stranded on a remote and unfamiliar island, she'll need all her magical acumen to commune with the elements if she is to survive. Forced into solitude, apart from the occasional conjuration and appearance of air bound spirits, she contemplates what it means to leave everything you've known behind and forge a new, brutal and unapologetic existence. Loosely base
- Theatre is DeadA performance protest based on occult ceremonies, mourning rituals and funeral rites following the trajectory of life/death/life cycles and journeys to the underworld exploring the loss, joy and anger the theatre community has endured while theatres were unable to open and providing a lens through which we can open dialogues about existing hypocrisies and oppressions within the theatre industry in order to transform it.
