My career has always focused on young people and on developing participation in the arts, working with companies including Greenwich Young People’s Theatre; The Royal Court Young People’s Theatre; Northampton Royal Theatre-in-Education Company; Leavener’s Experimental Arts Project. I have directed professional projects with Hounslow Asian Theatre Company, Tara Arts, New Perspectives and M6 Theatre-in-Education Company as well as performing in radio plays for the BBC.
I have lectured and run courses with businesses as well as with artists, teachers, playleaders and youth workers and across a range of institutions from Local Authorities, businesses (Unipart, Anglian Water) and training institutions (New York University, National Youth Music Theatre). I currently teach on the PGCE course at Oxford University Department of Educational Studies focusing on the use of drama, in developing learning, to non-drama students and have successful piloted a project with Oxfordshire County Council Primary Strategy Team on developing children’s writing using drama-based activities.
