I'm a dramaturg, arts programmer, creative producer and theatre-maker. I trained at the Victorian College of the Arts, and the University of Wollongong. My practice focuses on new play development, cross-artform conversations, and using the tools of dramaturgy outside the theatre context. I'm interested in how theatre works, and how to make it work for everyone.

 

Currently, I'm a Senior Arts Programmer for Darebin Arts. We run the Darebin Arts Speakeasy program of contemporary theatre, dance, circus, live art at Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre and Darebin Arts Centre, alongside a suite of artist development activities that cultivate a community of practice around these two venues.

​

I'm also the Creative Producer of Pummel Squad.

​

From 2014 to 2022 I was the New Work Manager & Resident Dramaturg at Malthouse Theatre. Here I managed their new play commissions, works in development, and artist development programs, and provided dramaturgical support across the company’s activities.

​

Plays I've developed as dramaturg include: Rumbleskin by Ames May Nunn, garçon by wani toaishara, Telethon Kid by Alistair Baldwin, Made in China 2.0 by Wang Chong, Atlantis by Chanella Macri, K-BOX by Ra Chapman, The Return by John Harvey, Stay Woke by Aran Thangaratnam, Hello, World! By Natesha Somasundaram, Atomic by Amelia Chandos Evans, Going Down by Michele Lee, Heart is a Wasteland by John Harvey (Brown Cabs), and Little Emperors 小皇帝 by Lachlan Philpott (AsiaTOPA). I was also the dramaturg on Malthouse Theatre's 2021 large-scale immersive production Because The Night.

 

With my partner Arie Rain Glorie, I established the Centre for Dramaturgy and Curation (2019-2020), exploring the intersections and expanded applications of these two fields of practice.

 

Earlier in my career I co-founded the artist collective New Working Group, and was co-director of interactive theatre outfit NO SHOW.

​

I was a panelist and then chair of the Green Room Association Awards' Independent Theatre Panel. I was a recipient of the Mike Walsh Fellowship, a member of Australian Plays Transform's National Advisory Panel, and a participant in the Australia Council's Future Leaders Program.
