Playback Theatre is a form of spontaneous, improvised theatre that responds directly to people’s true stories.

In both a performance and workshop setting, playback theatre offers communities playful skills in storytelling, deep listening, authentic response and improvisation. In turn, these facilitate reflection, celebration and community witnessing.

I run these workshops through London Playback Theatre.

Our nervous systems drive how we are in the world - how we respond to others, to stress, to pleasure, to space.

I offer workshops that aim to do two things:

1. support you to befriend your nervous system - understand how it’s wired, and learn tools that support immediate regulation, as well as better regulation over time.

2. support you to exercise compassion towards your system and your responses to the world, and find some safety in your own body and experience.

Writing about our lives, said bell hooks, is both ‘a healing place where our souls can speak and unfold’ and ‘a narrative of resistance’.

I offer creative writing workshops focused on telling the experiences and stories that are important to you. We explore voice, craft, practice and impact in a warm, supportive, trauma-informed and anti-oppressive space.
