Here are projects I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of over recent years

This Beautiful Future

★★★★★ –  Fergus Morgan - TheStage.com 'nothing short of mesmerising"

★★★★ - Lyn Gardner - The Guardian "Exquisite"

★★★★ - Matt Trueman, WhatsonStage.com "Extraordinary"

★★★★ -  Alice Saville - Timeout

THIS BEAUTIFUL FUTURE. The Yard Theatre - 2017

Elodie is 17. She’s French. She lets down her hair and puts it up again. She finds reflective surfaces everywhere. She tests new looks.

Otto is 15. He’s a German soldier. He brushes his hair to make the shape of his head more perfectly oval. He tries not to look at himself in the mirror.

It’s 1944. Elodie and Otto are experiencing love for the very first time. Outside, the world around them is exploding. Inside, the room shakes. Elodie and Otto’s bodies touch.

Fusing youth with old age, the past with the present, pop tunes with Stalingrad, THIS BEAUTIFUL FUTURE is about love in the extreme.

Removal Men

★★★★ – Alice Saville - Time Out - “Signposts the way to the power of music in theatre  to be something a bit transcendental”

★★★★ –  Matt Trueman - WhatsOnStage.com

“The music is a masterstroke. Jonah Brody’s songs sneak up on the script.”

★★★★ – Fergus Morgan, The Stage

"exquisitely understated drama.”

★★★★ – Tom Birchenough, The Arts Desk

”A breathless ride through sometimes traumatic terrain with a finely tuned sense of the absurd propelling it along.”

Hot Head Show

Hot Head Show are inherently sexy ... It seems they have a lot to say, but don't want to take too much time to say it.” — Notion Magazine

“The trio are experimental certainly, but that's like simply saying the sun is quite warm. They are sweetly melodic one moment and hugely unsettling the next, willfully sludgy then aggressively staccato, both confrontational and conciliatory. By rights, it should make for one unholy and uncoordinated shit storm, but "by rights" doesn't apply here (few of the standard reference points do) and debut album The Lemon LP is as unique and inventive as anything we've heard for a long time.” — The Mad Mackerel blog

 

“Remarkably cool ... Eleven extremely witty ditties played with fierce precision - well-crafted songs that stick in your head, flatly refusing to budge. Schizo jazzy sections crossed with big riffage give you the impression this is going to be awesome live and indeed they are. Hot Head Show have developed a sound entirely their own and it's damn good. These guys deserve to be huge.”— Bearded Magazine

“Any band set to support Primus on a tour next month would be forgiven for experiencing the pre-show jitters. Yet frontman Jordan Bennett is far from quaking in his boots, instead both on and off stage he does appear (dare I say it..?) kind of bad-ass. The band's musical style is hard to define ... the melodies are layered with dynamic tempo changes and syncopated arrangements with each song producing an unconventional and brilliantly chaotic sound ... The next London date for Hot Head Show will be to a sold out Brixton Academy and there is no doubt they will be well received ... you can't help but admire Hot Head Show, even if their wardrobe choices are not to your liking.”— London Music Blog

Four Solos in the Wild

Arty Party is a charity based in Shropshire, which supports and empowers learning disabled adults to explore, express and celebrate their creativity.

Arty Party wishes to make powerful and high quality art as a group and to support individual artists to make their own work and share it with the public.

‘Four solos in the wild’ is a project which was created to support Arty Party members in experiencing the environment, working together as a community, and to create four new solo works for film.

Redefining Beauty

Redefining Beauty is a project in collaboration with Rosetta Life, working with elderly people around London as well as people dealing from life changing illnesses - Strokes, Dementia. We work together to create innovative art, dance and theatre pieces in public spaces. Our last project - Sketches Under The Wave - was in response to the Hokkusai exhibition at the British Museum and was performed in their central hall on July 15, 2017
