My latest show-in-progress is YAMANBA (or, SHE’LL BE COMING ROUND THE MOUNTAIN), next to be performed at Ropetackle Storytellers in January 2025; and HIDE, an interdisciplinary performance work which debuted at VAULT Festival 2023. Other upcoming performances include a retelling of Old English epic BEOWULF, and an evening of FOLK HORROR stories with leading storyteller Daniel Morden (Crick Crack Club).

I have a first-class BA in English Literature and Old Norse/Old English (University College London) and MA in Japanese Studies (SOAS).  Before studying performance forms in Japan, the UK and the USA, I worked in publishing and bookselling. Along the way, I’ve also promoted events, negotiated contracts for theatre designers, booked tours, and edited other people’s written work.
