Dancer and Physical Theatre Artist
Profile
Alongside my film and writing work with people with learning difficulties, people with mental health support needs and older people I have been a tutor
and performer also. This work I have found to be a great leveller between people enabling everyone to express themselves. The work has involved both
performance and process based work. The skills I have brought to this work are those of dancer, visual artist, movement practitioner and storyteller.
