Hello Beautiful
About
I was born and have lived in London for most of my life. My clowning began in 1998 when I invited people, some dressed as woodland animals, to a ritual performance entitled ‘An Angelic Union with Nature’ in which I married a tree on Hampstead Heath.
I have woven clowning into my performance practice since then.
I am now bringing my creative practices together exploring a journey of fragmentation to integration through spontaneity, improvisation and embracing mistakes in the unplanned.
