About me
Over the past 4 years I have worked on the production of a variety of live performance, including circus, theatre, cabaret, and gigs. I have experience assisting larger festivals and projects and managing smaller shows from initial concepts through technical rehearsals to show run. I'm passionate about bringing a show from paper to stage, bringing the vision into reality in a way that's safe and doesn't break the bank. I'm looking for directors and producers to collaborate with, to provide the logistics and operational support to your project.
