Drastic Productions is a not for profit performance company working with isolated groups. I am a founder member of this company.


I have over 10 years experience in working with isolated groups and people who do not usually encounter or have access to the arts. I use live art, performance, observation, writing and cups of tea to discover with people unusual perspectives in ordinary things.


Dare Devil Divas was a six week devising process with a group of women; some of whom are living with mental health issues. The project explored Sex positivism amongst a framework of vaudeville, cabaret & burlesque. This specially commissioned documentary by film maker Vivi Stamatatos charts the devising process and the Divas' journeys.
