Welcome!

To My Corner of the Internet.

I make performance that puts big ideas into small spaces, intimate cabaret that encompasses the hugest of subjects.
I make performance that is earthily spiritual, perversely holy and religiously rude.
I make the kind of performance that I want to see (and I hope you do too).

“To be natural is such a difficult pose to keep up” – Oscar Wilde

My shows look at human nature and our true selves through the lens of artifice.
My shows are poetry, song and story.
My shows are Queer.

“One can be serious about the frivolous, frivolous about the serious.”- Susan Sontag

My work uses sacred imagery, Tarot and mythology to examine archetypes and spirituality.
And connects those archetypes to our own experiences.
My work asks: Who is the real me, the real you, and is there really only one?

“We all have identity crises because a single identity is a delusion of the monotheistic mind that would defeat Dionysos at all costs.” – James Hillman

Above all my work is Dionysian in spirit.  It is cabaret: theatrical, camp and fun.
I want to question our western monotheistic orthodoxies of the Cartesian dichotomy between body and soul, between sex and spirituality, between male and female.
I want to do it without using all those big words.

“I am not in the habit of making instantly forgettable theatre” – Mark Winstanley

I play with gender roles and ‘taboo’ sexualities.
I play with music, language and imagery
I play with Tarot cards and stories of gods and heroes.
And I want you to come and play with me.

“When the soul is empowered, we have an infinite repertoire of possible roles.  We are huge; the only thing that limits us is our narrow minds – our fixed ideas of who we are”- Gabrielle Roth

Welcome to the Cabaret!

When I’m not doing all that, I work as an actor, musician, artists’ model and writer. I have been performing professionally since 2007. You can find more information about each of my specialisms on the menu above.
I am based in Manchester and work mainly in north-west England.

I took my practice-as-research PhD, Staging Queer Spirituality: New perspectives on self-identity through Minstrelsy as multiplastic archetypal persona-performance at the University of Salford between 2020 and 2024.
Additionally, I hold a BA in Theatre and Performance Practice (2018) and an MA in Contemporary Performance Practices (2019), both also from The University of Salford.
