My wonderful friend @sincere_lee_hm wrote a play, @goldsmithsdramasociety put the play on, I assistant directed, somewhere along the way sort of turned into director, and did some posters and bits and bobs too.
The set was one bit fat team effort. The fabulous @_emilydenton and I made an elevator, shoutout to a broken call button, and the graffiti is the child of @t.8.um .
Thank you to a brilliant cast. Thank you to everyone who carried ancient computers and wheels chairs up and down the road to New Cross House. So glad I met yall.
SWEAT AND LASH GLUE
03.2025
The aftermath of a performance. Peeling off the buttons stuck on with latex lash glue. Seeing sweat disintegrate the makeup on my face. Seeing craters and valleys. Seeing decay.
Don’t come for the quality of these photos they were taken on my phone.
UNDER MILK WOOD
~costume and makeup~
03.2025
A look that came together very last minute, but ended up being very effective. I became jellyfish tentacles in crested with sand and slime.
Make up by me. Costume out of the costume cupboard at uni.
Thank you @amyybraniff for pics <3
UNDER MILK WOOD
~drawers full of dreams~
03.2025
What would you find, if you opened up the drawers of an old blind captain’s, in a room where dreams and reality cannot be differentiated?
A drawer full of seaweed, perhaps? Slightly rotten, slightly unpleasant, scattered with buttons and sand…
A drawer of sardines, perhaps? Stinking of fish and death and terror and the long drowned sailors of his past, who whisper and moan as he sleeps…
UNDER MILK WOOD
~sand dunes~
03.2025
@elisabeth.skaper.greier and I are like magpies- shiny buttons and beads and silver spoons are delicious to us. In our dreamscape world for this uni project we wanted to give an impression of sand dunes, so we made these. The base is modelling clay which we painted gold, and then we went haywire with the glue gun sticking on buttons and sparkly things, which catch the light in beautiful ways. When you put them on the floor and pile more buttons over them they take on a very organic shape.
Not very good photos but you get the vibe. The last pic is without added loose buttons- looking a bit bare a sluggish.
UNDER MILK WOOD
~the jellyfish~
03.2025
The creation of myself, @mogz_tea_room and @elisabeth.skaper.greier for an immersive performance for a scenography module at uni.
‘never such seas as any swamped the decks of his S. S. Kidwelly, bellying over the bed clothes and jellyfish slippery, sucking him down salt deep into the davy dark, where the fish come biting out and nibble him down to his wishbone and the long drowned nuzzle up to him.’
~ This section of Under Milk Wood is part of Captain Cat’s dreamscape. We focused on this character, using the jellyfish as a vessel for his subconscious. Half way through the finished performance, the jellyfish becomes threatening and nightmarish, dragging him down into a land of horrors.
In these photos we are experimenting with the jellyfish under different lighting states- it feels like a magic trick when the red disappears under one and becomes vibrant and almost luminescent under another. We made use of this transformation in the performance.
UNDER MILK WOOD: A SEA OF DREAMS
03.2025
The most absolutely juicy uni project with the most absolutely fabulous dedicated group of people. I’ll post loads of pics of this project for sure, starting with these- a bit of personal research sketching and modelboxing to start to illustrate and explore ideas.
The project grew out of Dylan Thomas’ Under Milk Wood, a play for voices. We knew right from the start that we wanted to focus on the first section of the play- the dream section, and we knew it would become a highly sensory world- smell, touch, sight, sound. We wanted to bring all these elements together.
Random uni creation with @zoe.w3therall made in a ridiculously small amount of time with hope dreams and willpower

MACBOOZE BABYYY

Now that term 2 is over I’m getting round to making my portfolio look pretty again. This project was for @goldsmithsdramasociety , creating the set and objects for their annual drunk Shakespeare with @sonnysurfer10
You might think this isn’t your usual Shakespeare kinda vibe- and you’d be right. Why is there a golden splurge gun? The Art Deco vibes are owed to the play being set in 1920s Nee York. Bugsy Malone Style. Hey! I’m walkin here
Right from the start I knew I wanted to make use of the pub vibes rather than try to cover up or ignore them.
Made everything out of cardboard because it is the lords food (and also so we didn’t die carrying it all up the stairs in New Cross House)
Sat in my kitchen painting a sign to procrastinate my essay writing
So many silly details to this project- so many little props and bits and bobs.
