Just over here celebrating the return of Avenue Q to the West End - a show to which I owe my career in puppetry. So stoked and incredulous I still get to work with puppets 15 years on. Here are some old, old photos of us on the Avenue (2010-2012). 1. Trekkie Monster in the window 2. A moment as Kate Monster, covering for the incomparable @rachelmjerram and @katharinemoraz 3. One of my favourite photos - three Kate Monsters, rehearsing “Special” unadorned (@rachelmjerram & @katharinemoraz ) 4. & 5. The cast of 2012 💜 6. @yeukayiushe & I on for Gary Coleman & Christmas Eve 7. Puppeteer in greys 8. Cast of 2010 💜

A little (too) late sharing this - but the geek in me is still pretty stoked I got to be a small, small part of an epic universe voicing Rieve.

I often struggle to post about the things that mean the most to me at the time they happen. I find myself overwhelmed, trying to condense all the people and moments I’ve cherished—and continue to cherish—into a single post. Perhaps that’s why my journey with the RSC’s My Neighbour Totoro has been somewhat absent from my feed. I’ve made countless failed attempts to select the perfect photos to showcase the incomparable talents of the creatives, crew and cast I was so fortunate to work alongside. This is but one moment of many. Cast of My Neighbour Totoro, 2023-2024, Barbican Theatre

Provided movement reference for the possessed Stone Lion in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Never felt so badass as I did wielding an enormous Lion head atop a plinth on a windy, windy shoot day. Thank you @robinguiver for bringing me along to be a small part of such a legendary legacy of movies, and for always trusting me when I say this girl is strong enough 💪
