is a ClimateCultures Author

A composer, improviser and performer, currently working on Dancing Dark Matter and Food! a family-friendly musical on the growing resistance to the corporate takeover of food.


I am a composer, improviser and performer who collaborated on Terabac, theatre of Insects, and am co-ordinator of the Sonic Spider project, which premiered at the Oxford IF science and ideas festival in 2023 and toured Wales in 2024.

I am now returning to Oxford IF with a new piece, Dancing Dark Matter. This will lead into developing the Sci-Fi opera ensemble and company in Cardiff, 2027-8.

I am also working on a family-friendly show, Food! the musical, to tour in 2027 -- using music and humour to tell the story of the corporate takeover of food and the growing resistance to it.
