My artistic practice is drawn from my experience of living with a disability and I'm passionate about including the voices of young people living with a disability, and honouring their experiences in my written work.
Current Works In Development
At 21 years old Charlie had her life set; a long term relationship, a university degree and a promising career - she had completely fitted into the mould.
When her long term boyfriend ghosts her, she’s encouraged to confront her future with a therapist. Charlie’s therapist Maryanne holds a mirror to her life and Charlie is forced to question how much of her self image has been shaped by systems designed to categorise her.
‘Desirable, Considering’ is a one woman theatre piece that explores identity, feminism, disability awareness and the desire to be seen; without assumptions, pity or projection.
STAGED READING HELD WITH SUPPORT BY NEXT WAVE
DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP WITH SUPPORT BY ATYP’S PEER 2 PIER PROGRAM
Four teenagers are stuck in a children’s hospital over the school holidays, watching their friends make memories without them. Bonding over their shared frustration with being treated like children, and their desperation to be anywhere but the ward, they discover they’re all missing out on the same thing: an Olivia Rodrigo concert.
Determined not to miss out, they plan to escape the confines of the hospital ward and prove that, disabled or not, they can still be Olivia Rodrigo’s biggest fans.
