Director | Choreographer | Digital Artist | Producer | Teacher

​

I create work that moves my audiences to offer a space where curiosity and play can breathe.

​

This sense of artistic practice has been cultivated for many years.

​

As the founder and Artistic Director of Aura Creative Studios, an award-winning, immersive digital company.

 

I craft experiences that break the fourth wall and reach audiences who might never have encountered live performance: children, families, and those with additional needs.

 

My productions weave together speculative choreographic scores that are rooted in contemporary, African, Indian and exploring the notion of what moments feels and looks like to my audience.

 

l am always curating physical worlds that are as visually striking as they are deeply felt.

​

My directing and choreography have taken me from Folkteatern in Gävle, Sweden to The Oily Cart (Former Associate Director), and into digital spaces that blend emerging technology with storytelling.

 

I'm drawn to innovation, embedding haptic technology for PMLD audiences, exploring virtual production, and always asking how we can make performance more inclusive, alive and ever so meaningful.

Teaching, lecturing & Coaching

 

Creativity isn't just my profession; it's something I believe everyone deserves access to.

​

As a senior lecturer at  Metropolitan University's School of Digital Arts (SODA) I work with emerging artistic students to develop digital creative skills that are sought after within the creative industries.

 

Recent research projects include "Kindred Spirit", "Aura Hotline" and "Sensorial Dreams" exploring AI companionship, inclusivity, multi- sensory immersive real-time experiences. Installations include Fine Art Gallery, Warsaw, RET and the Science Museum.

 

Through my own Lead facilitation with the Young Company at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Crewe Lyceum, and Manchester International Festival, I have directed and curated innovative work both technically and generating curious minds to questions the world we live in, to be critical thinkers. 

 

I also influence diversity and inclusive practice as part of EDI steering group for Creative UK and the Alan Turing Institute's AI & Arts Interest Group.

​

Through my online coaching programmes, I support creative entrepreneurs ready to reignite their artistic practice and build sustainable careers on their own terms.

​

If this resonates, and you would like to explore and play then...Let's connect and make something extraordinary together.
