​I am happiest working in rooms with other creatives - in development, rehearsal, performance - working on brand new work. I love seeing these worlds come to life with rhythms and energies different to what I imagined in my head, discussing them, and feeding it all into my writing and creative practice. If these words and characters can speak to others in a way that resonates with them - then they are successful.
