Creative Projects within Education

Bath Theatre Academy

Buckets (2023) - This was our final major project of first year where each of us acted in this ensemble anthology play, directed by a visiting lecturer., 

Screenology Project (2023) - At the beginning of second year we had multiple units that lead to building creative portfolios, such as practising contemporary and classical monologues. Whereas this unit saw us performing scripts in our type cast. I wrote a script for our group called “What Now?”., 

Shakeslam (2024) - This was a directed presentation of our Classic Monologues in second year. I acted as an MC for the night., 

New Writing Night (2024) - This was a student organised scratch night in which I acted as one of the lead organisers and stage managers, as well as writing and directing a piece for the project called “We’re Gonna Find Out Where You Live”., 

Little Shop of Horrors (2024) - This was the last project that we did with college where I played the role of Audrey 2 and got to discuss design aspects of the show as an extra curricular.

Royal Central

SU Fest (2025) - I directed a piece for our student union festival scratch night in 2025. The process of creating our piece "Resolutions we made" saw me take on multiple roles outside of direction, such as booking rehearsal spaces, organising musical accompaniment, and coordinating with the event organisers and tech team.

A Patch of Grass (2025) - The final unit of our first year saw us making 10 minute plays inspired by Hampstead Heath for a rehearsed reading. Our group created a piece called "Dordrecht", a paranormal horror piece which developed my interest in making horror theatre.

From Scratch (2025) - Our first unit in second year saw us independently writing 10 minute plays for a rehearsed reading. I continued working in horror theatre by creating a piece called "Funny Business" a horror period piece commenting the state of queer and sexual wellness throughout history.

Pent Up (2026) - Our second term surrounded a unit of creating 5 minute solo performance pieces to be shown at the end of term. I experimented with verbatim theatre and used my experience with drag to create a lip sync piece called "The Bloody Crocodile in The Avon".

Queer Cab (2024-2026) - I've been performing in in our per-term cabaret, as well as other queer focused events at central, as my drag persona C*nt be asked since starting at central, with pieces that often comment on established IPs or current politics in a comedic and satirical ways.

Volunteer Experience

Creative Training and Experience pre-2023

  • I was a part of The Egg Theatre’s youth theatre program TRBTS from the age of 10-17, during which I picked up a lot of experience in different modes of acting and facilitation within the realm of theatre. I also went through multiple professional theatre tech processes.
  • I also took a two month theatre clown training course in 2022 in order to better inform my comedic practices. These were weekly classes that covered tings like physical comedy and comedic timing.
  • Hamlin (2022) Egg Theatre Bath - This was the first show I did with TRBTS, the project was created collaboratively with a dramaturg based on stimuli surrounding the story of the pide piper, I played the pide piper.
  • I am England (2022) Egg Theatre Bath - This was my second show with the TRBTS company in which I played a member of the ensemble, this gave me a far better understanding of an intensive tech process.
