About me
Creative Learning and Participation Producer and Facilitator
Education
- The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama
  2022 - 2023
  Master of Arts - MA Applied Theatre Distinction
- Rose Bruford College
  2017 - 2020
  European Theatre Arts Contemporary and Political Theatre
  Activities and Societies: I directed and produced multiple productions, both at Rose Bruford in London and as a part of my Erasmus scheme in Slovakia. I was the elected School of Performance Officer, representing half the student body at panels, events and other board meetings. The degree involved an in-depth investigation of theatre and its practicalities. I completed three final year independent research projects, one focussing on the outreach work of a children's theatre company in Sweden; one investigating the accessibility of theatre practice through the social model of disability; and one exploring how political theatre can insight protest and societal change.
