Applied Theatre, Care Aesthetics, RiDE Journal, In Place of War, MCFC, Dad, Granddad. Not necessarily in that order...

Excited to celebrate the launch of the new Sally Mackey bursary in recognition of the huge contribution of Professor Sally Mackey to the field of applied theatre, she’s retiring today but as always she’s unstoppable!!! @CSSDLondon



Reading "Performing Care" ed. @AmandaStuartFis & @JamesThomp, care is defined as "resistance to the ‘care-lessness’ of contemporary life" (3), which rings so true. Grandparents ageing and my mother's job as a caretaker have taught me a lot of what I want theatre to do for others.




@ace_national so happy to get my DYCP Beyond excited to work with @LowriEvans and @HilaryEasterJo1 on ‘The Long Goodbye’ exploring my mum’s journey with Alzheimer’s…….. And with @JamesThomp as my mentor, feeling like I’m in v safe hands! 🙌
