​What I'm Doing Right Now
(inspired by Derek Sivers)

Role: Writer
I am thrilled to have received a Develop Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council England. This means I can work on my craft and portfolio with writing time, mentors and partners over the next year. I'm currently working on a play and a sit com pilot. I've recently done writing retreats at Arvon and with Write Like a Grrrl and I've been commissioned to write an immersive climate crisis show.

Role: Folklorist
I'm celebrating my Folklore Studies MA (2025) and completing a master's degree as a mature student. Let me know if you need a FOLKLORIST! 

Role: Teacher
I'm currently teaching a year of the Mythic Improv Journey with two cohorts, a foundation course and improv duos with Folkestone Improv Theatre and regular classes for Hoopla (the UK's biggest improv school). I am facilitating writing and improvisation sessions for Universities and teaching improv teachers.

Role: Improviser
This month, I'm playing with a new ensemble team, the Pretend Company and as part of the London 50-Hour Improvathon.

Role: Voice Actor
I play the titular role in Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers, a podcast by FunKids for the National Trust.

Role: Human Woman
I've started cross-stitching! I've picked up a kit where you stitch a mushroom for every day of the year, changing colours with the temperature. It's a new way to follow the natural cycles and to be present. I'm doing a year-long permaculture design course which I'm thoroughly enjoying.
