I’ve been devising and making work collaboratively for fifteen years. I had thought I wanted to be a painter but then I discovered theatre. What attracted me to theatre was sharing a room with people, whereas painting was solitary. I find people fascinating. The period of conversation, thinking, exploration and experimentation, the discovery of languages for each particular piece feels like mixing colours whilst the construction of the piece with its structure, tones and rhythms feels like applying paint to a canvas. To create a piece of work that belongs collectively to a group of people, who share a particular period in their lives as they wrestle with specific questions and ideas is an extraordinary privilege.

Up to this point, I’ve created a nomadic and varied existence for myself as a theatre-maker. I make my own work, as well as directing, devising and/or performing in work initiated by other people.
