I have been working with Ockham's Razor,touring their shows 'The Triple Bill' and 'The Mill.'This autumn I shall also be joining their production 'Not Until We Are Lost' with dates booked in Bangor and Cardiff.
Additionally I have been co-devising an aerial theatre piece with Willow Vidal-Hall,with support from Circomedia, Ausform and Jackson's Lane, and I am currently working on my first solo show. This show will use physical theatre and live art,to explore my responsibility for my disabled brother. A section of this will be shown on the 19th October at Prototype, at the Tobacco Factory Theatre.C.V.
