I am a theatre maker, performer and writer based in York. I am Co-artistic Director of VIAPERFORMANCE, a Dance Theatre and Live Sound production company also based in York, making work internationally. I have lived all over the place and at the moment I work for Bar Lane Studios, as a front of house person, and for York St John University as a Performer and Researcher. I am actively involved in the anti-austerity movement but I tend to write about art and culture, rather than politics. I am Editor of the Faculty of Arts performance ‘zine, Theatre Pages. I enjoy good food, good beer, good wine and cooking. I also like walking and talking. Too much.
