About
I am an Artist and researcher based in the North West of England, member of Manchester-based artists' collective Sometimes... (www.virb.com/sometimes) who run the quarterly 'Volume' nights at greenroom in Manchester (www.greenroomarts.org). My work includes theatre, performance, interventions, lectures, singsongs, guided tours, short walks, long conversations and grand days out, as I aim to create spaces where invitation, welcomes and other generosities become possible.
I am freelancing, jobbing, as-and-when. For Current doings see the blog on this site or go to:
