Something about yourself
I’m a creative working in Theatre & Film, based in South Wales.
I’m Queer and Non-Binary - but “you can always tell.”
Drawing from Contemporary European Theatre Practice, I make collaborative, community-centred work centred around lived LGBTQ+ and Neurodivergent experience.
