Creating and shaping stories in order to connect human beings is at the heart of everything Seedbed does.

I trained in acting at RADA and subsequently acted, devised, collaborated, and wrote for theatre in the UK, Europe, and the US. I’ve performed with British companies such as Cheek by Jowl and Shakespeare’s Globe, and I co-ran Yorkshire-based Flying Cloud Theatre, writing and directing new theatre work for our Northern tours.

As a theatre professional, my work has also included teaching and facilitating a variety of groups and individuals. I’ve worked with schools, older people, adults recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, neurodivergent young people, young people with HIV, learning disabled adults, artists, and businesses. I’ve contributed theatre practices to intercultural dialogue, social justice, and community work. In each case I’ve used stories as my medium.

I’ve always been excited by stories in theatres. Working with story with diverse groups in different contexts, I’ve become increasingly excited by the power of stories outside of the theatre too. That’s why I founded Seedbed Theatre, to increase connection through effective storytelling.
