WORKSHOPS - Are you a teacher, educator or arts organisation?

As an actor and theatremaker I have engaged with a wide-range of audiences and communities with the intention to increase the accessibility of theatre and the arts. 

I have lead a number of playwriting and devising workshops with the Melbourne Theatre Company’s Virtual School’s Victoria program, DreamHouse Youth Theatre, ATYP and Rollercoaster Theatre. If you’d like to chat about me delivering something at your University, High school, or Arts Organisation.
