About
I am a Gaulier trained physical performer originally from Cape Town, South Africa.
I currently live in Leeds and work as a freelance performer, clown, puppeteer, theatre-maker, and director working with a number of theatre companies across the UK and Europe. The theatre I create is often devised and collaborative, incorporating non-verbal storytelling for all ages as well as clown, mask, and puppetry.
I have also worked with mixed media including video projection, stop-motion animation, and shadow puppetry. I facilitate workshops on clown, mask, puppetry, and devising theatre. More recently I have started collaborating with companies and individuals as a clown and comedy consultant and movement director.
