As the last of 9 children in a small country town, I’ve seen a lot. When I grew up, I graduated from Flinders Drama Centre, going on to work extensively in theatre, live art and screen as well as developing an arts practice of making theatre shows from intimate conversations with other humans. I work with collaborators that include installation-theatre companies in Demark and Singapore, and various companies locally including The Rabble, Arts House, Aphids, Open Space Contemporary Arts, No Strings Attached, STC SA, Brink Productions, No Strings Attached and Vitalstatistix. Some of my shows have won awards, some of my projects such as The Australian Bureau of Worthiness have been long standing, and some of my theatre performances have grabbed attention.
I collaborate and act in various screen projects, working with the ABC, Rob Marchand, Shalom Almond, Ian Bone, Craig Behenna and Nate Charles. I collaborate regularly with Sarah John, a visual artist and theatre maker based in Denmark, and delivered my new autobiographical work, The Photo Box with Vitalstatistix and Brink Productions, presented by the Adelaide Festival in 2022.
I have now embarked on a story-telling theatre performance experiment where I create my story set list based on conversations with the audience, so the show is totally improvised and different every night. I am also the proud mum of 9-year old triplets, which is a show all of its own.
