‘Theatre is my favourite art form. With a complete box of sensory tools at our disposal to tell stories in 3D, I envision a theatre experience that goes beyond visual perception, embracing sonic narratives, and tactile experiences.
My mission, is to build a practise which transforms theatrical projects into multi-layered experiences where accessibility integrates with visual experiences. ‘
‘If we want to actually make this cultural shift, it comes with looking at how we can integrate creative access in a way that reflects every story that we’re telling.’
