( About )

I am a Sydney-based theatre director and dramaturg, trained in the Master of Theatre (Directing) at the Victorian College of the Arts. I specialise in text-based work and script dramaturgy, with a particular interest in technology on stage — from AI deepfakes in Krapp's Last Tape to live-band and projected AV work in Macbeth. Alongside my theatre practice I am a qualified secondary teacher of Drama and Mathematics, and I also work as a lighting designer.

( Services )

I also teach, train and consult: workshops, dramaturgy and text analysis for schools, companies and organisations.
