I am a multidisciplinary artist working across opera, public realm projects, site-responsive theatre, socially engaged art for health, durational performance, and immersive events. As a librettist for Dai Fujikura, I co-translated Solaris (Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, 2015), wrote A Dream of Armageddon (New National Theatre Tokyo, 2020), and am currently developing The Great Wave, a new opera about the life of Ukiyo-e artist Hokusai with funding from the Japanese Arts Council.
I was founding producer of Secret Cinema (2008–13), co-directed Kensington’s InTRANSIT Festival (2013–17), and produced site-specific work for the London Contemporary Orchestra, The National Archives, and the National Trust. From 2021–24, I was Creative Director for the British Army’s Art and Engagement programme in Scotland, earning a Fringe First and the Scottish Arts Club award for Best Scottish Theatre Production.
My performance art has featured at the Berlin Month of Performance Art, Design Museum, Saatchi Gallery, Estorick Collection, and Royal Scottish Academy. I studied Voice and Composition at Trinity College of Music, Music Education at Goldsmiths, and completed a Master’s in Artistic Research through Fontys Academy and Duncan of Jordanstone. I also hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Art and Public Health from Robert Gordon University.
I recently convened the Arts and Society strand for Scotland’s first international Armed Forces and Society conference and lecture in Fine Art at Moray School of Art, UHI. I’m a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, the Society of Scottish Antiquaries, Royal Society for Public Health, and the Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society. I am a member of the Worshipful Company of Educators and serve as a Director of Music at The Green School Trust, Isleworth.
