My work is based in training presence, confidence, connection and communication. I believe that people are extraordinary and I mentor and train individuals and organisations to liberate their power - creating more fulfilling, easeful and passionate ways of being. I was born in North Wales (UK) in 1964. I graduated from Hull University with a degree in English Literature and then completed a Masters Degree in Theatre at Leeds University. I worked for a number of years as a performer, story-teller and community artist before moving to Australia in 1997. While there I continued to work as a performer and director, while also working extensively as a teacher – with particular emphasis on working with younger children. In Australia I worked for a while at Monash University (Melbourne) and ran the Quiddity Ensemble where I began to explore the training process that now underpins all my work (Self-With-Others). I moved back to the UK in 2004 to become a Senior Lecturer in Performance at Huddersfield University. While there I set up and ran an innovative MA based on my way of training performers. It was while a Senior Lecturer that I was commissioned to write my first book – an academic textbook published as ‘Encountering Ensemble’ in 2013. In 2010 I returned to freelance work and established DUENDE – an international ensemble performance company. In 2015 I extended DUENDE’s work by establishing The DUENDE School of Ensemble Physical Theatre to train performers internationally. My second book – a handbook for performers on developing presence called ‘Climbing The Mountain’ was published in 2017. In the decade between 2010-2020 I worked extensively round the world, teaching, directing, performing, lecturing – including engagements in Seattle, Bogota, Melbourne, Hangzhou, Kuala Lumpur, Mumbai, Delhi, Athens, Stockholm, Bangalore, Kolkata and elsewhere. I left DUENDE in 2020 to refocus on more individualised training and mentorship – primarily in the areas of corporate and community development.
