Having worked with many different performers, directors and makers over the years and created a load of crazy shows, I have developed a number of different exploratory workshops to share what I have learnt and to further discover new ideas and techniques.

Every workshop has been carefully planned but can be adapted to suit different levels of experience and time scales.
