Dramaturgy and facilitation

Learn by doing. Making legible the ineffable. Collaborative. Transformational. From 30 minute meetings to 2 year programs.

Interests include:
- Your voice as a playwright 
- The Unanswerable Question (and other organising principles)
- Dramatic action
- Semi-autobiographical work

I particularly enjoy working with people who love being an audience member, people speaking truth to power, groups. All ages, abilities, backgrounds, levels of experience, levels of familiarity with theatre.
