From her website: 

• "As an artist I work with shared truth and autobiography to create theatre and improvised theatre with a sense of nostalgia that asks how perspective has changed us.
  
  I deep dive into genres like storytelling, science fiction and folk horror to create a mood and a washing line of tropes to build my original work around. I either make transient work through long form improvisation or write a script and edit through collaboration and audience reactions. There is always an element of audience involvement - small or large - that changes the piece each time.
  
  My artwork retells my personal history, my passions and my fears in a way that allows others to unlock theirs."

Sign up before January 1st for a £5 discount. After which ticket prices will go up. This will be a smaller class size, so sign up early. 

We will take effort to secure a space of trust and collaboration. This means virtues of empathty, vulnerability and respect for others will be championed. If you read and understand these key points, you should be well prepared to be a positive contribution to this space:

1. All particpants are expected to treat one another with respect, and harassment or discriminatory conduct of any kind will not be tolerated. In particular, racism and sexual harassment will not be tolerated.

2. This is a social contract among all participants. Respect and empathy is something to expect from the space as well as contribute to the space.

3. This is a tool for the group to self-manage its own safety, and does not replace the legal process

4. When in doubt, make decisions that prioritize the safety of yourself and of others.

Location will be shared among ticket buyers. At this time, scholarhip/discount positions are not available but may be offered in the future.

Let us know if you have any questions!
