I'm an Australian Playback Theatre practitioner whose involvement with Playback Theatre began in 1985. I was an actor, conductor and co-director of four successive Canberra Playback Theatre companies over a period of 25 years. More recently I directed a Playback company in Wollongong, New South Wales.
I have a special interest in training conductors, bringing artistry to the stage, and helping companies work with the social dimensions of stories and issues of social justice.
I've led workshops in Australia, Singapore, Finland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Greece, Canada, South Africa, Hong Kong, India, the UK and Portugal.
I'm a faculty member and board member of the Australasian School of Playback Theatre and I'm also involved with community building in the region as well as internationally. I have a professional background in social policy and service development, and I've worked on issues like homelessness, violence against women and child protection for government and non-government agencies.
Get in touch if you are interested in working together. I visit Europe every year, usually in September, October and November.
