I love audio drama for radio, podcast and digital worlds. I love how accessible audio drama is: 'movies for your ears' can take anyone anywhere. I often work to make audio drama visual through captions, British Sign Language, illustration and interactive apps. I also love teaching and facilitating audio drama and have previously lead the Radio Drama Module at Bath Theatre Academy, taught for Synergy Theatre Project, and created the multi award winning 'Inside Change' radio project for Create Arts in partnership with Prison Radio.

I'd love to hear from you.
Maybe you're looking to commission your next theatre, radio or screen play?
Alternatively you want a story to be co-created with members of your community?
Perhaps you're looking to gain greater insight into your organisation or need to have a Big Conversation about an idea or theme or challenge?
Hopefully you like the look of the snapshots and are curious about how we might collaborate or co-create?
And you might need a creative facilitator that can professionally record and produce the whole process?
Whatever the reason, get in touch!
