Tom and Jerry. Thelma and Louise. Cheese and Biscuits. Barbz and Judy. Áine and Ruby.
A double act - friends, idiots, and a show that may feel like kids making a den out of bed sheets or being flung into a fancy dress box. That’s showbiz!

She has created commissioned works for Sadler’s Wells, Good Chance Theatre’s The Walk and Northern School of Contemporary Dance as well as her own Arts Council England funded projects. She was an inaugural Young Associate at Sadler’s Wells.

anti-capitalist and anti-oppressive politics.

devising performer across dance, theatre and improvisation with artists such as
