So excited to finally share that I’ve been part of creating and bringing to life Arcane Immersive Shanghai ✨
Inspired by the Emmy Award–winning @netflix series Arcane @arcaneshow and global gaming phenomenon League of Legends, 双城之战 (Battle of the Twin Cities) has been reimagined as a fully immersive musical experience inside the Shanghai Hotel, and being involved in shaping this world alongside such an incredible creative team has been an absolute honour. Feeling super grateful to be part of the original cast pioneering this kind of work. This is truly something special and a first of its kind, and I’m so proud of what we’ve built together and forever grateful for the friendships I’ve made along the way.
We’re now open for previews through January and into February! Grab your tickets and come witness the city of Zaun and Piltover come alive.

One Of The Night • 上海夜生活节 (Shanghai Nightlife Festival)
I was invited to be a part of this season’s film documenting a small group of people who are leading the way in Shanghai’s nightlife.
Over the moon to finally be able to share some small snippets of the show, which has been a huge part of my life over the last few years! Truly grateful for this opportunity!
Thank you to the whole team who was able to put this thing together.

🎞️ Featuring: PEELING THREADS 🌍 China, 2025 🎬 Direction: Joey Barton and Viola Iida 🗓️ Saturday, 4/25 at 1PM
‘Peeling Threads’ invites the audience to acknowledge that life is a tapestry woven from countless individual experiences, reinforcing the idea that acceptance is key to mental well-being. By embracing the present and acknowledging that the act of carrying on is a shared human experience, we can foster a deeper connection to the world around us. Ultimately, the film serves as a poignant reminder that despite life’s uncertainties, time continues to flow forwards, carrying us toward new beginnings, urging us to cherish the journey and the connections forged along the way.

🥀Welcome To The Playground🥀
Sharing some fun snaps from the last couple of months with @immersivearcane_official
Somewhere between chaos and creation, Dionyx 🎭 was born - a character I had the joy of creating as part of the Black Rose cabal 🌹
A woman of many faces, a life built on performance…
loyal to the path she chose, yet something softer lingers beneath it all.
Echoes of another self… another time…
refusing to disappear.
To help shape Arcane Immersive Shanghai and exist inside a world built with such extraordinary people has been a rare kind of magic!

March 28 - DFP FILM FESTIVAL - Screening and Awards
OFFICIAL SELECTION – @dfpfilmfestival
We are proud to officially introduce Peeling Threads as an Official Selection of DFP Film Fest.
Peeling Threads invites the audience to acknowledge that life is a tapestry woven from countless individual experiences, reinforcing the idea that acceptance is key to mental well-being. By embracing the present and acknowledging that the act of carrying on is a shared human experience, we can foster a deeper connection to the world around us. Ultimately, the film serves as a poignant reminder that despite life’s uncertainties, time continues to flow forwards, carrying us toward new beginnings, urging us to cherish the journey and the connections made along the way. These concepts are realised through the unspoken language of movement and dance, where the body speaks what words cannot—revealing emotion, memory, and connection in their rawest form.

I have been reluctant to post about this but here it goes!…
And just like that, after 6 years immersed in the dream of Sleep No More Shanghai—my chapter has come to a close (for now).
I arrived to this show not fully understanding what more I was capable of and I leave having grown not just as an artist, but as a leader, a collaborator, and a listener. I stepped into challenges that once felt out of reach and uncovered strengths I hadn’t yet recognised in myself. What began with uncertainty slowly became a quiet confidence—and a deeper understanding of what I can bring to the room.
I’ve said goodbye to so many over the years—castmates, staff members, dear friends who outgrew the city or simply needed to go. I held space for their exits, not realising that one day it’d be me walking through that same door. It’s a strange thing to witness your own ending in a place that once felt like forever.
I think of the audience—their eyes, their curiosity, the tiny moments of real connection and vulnerability in a sea of masks. Thank you for seeing me, even in the dark.
I think of those I watched —artists who moved me, changed me, showed me what was possible. I hope I’ve passed a little of that forward.
And I think of the quiet months of lockdown, locked alone in a room. Shanghai during covid was brutal and beautiful and impossible. I stayed when it was hard, when I was scared, when everything felt far away—my family, my friends, my sense of home. I stayed because this show and this work mattered to me.
To the ones who held me up—to the ones I danced beside, laughed with, fell apart in front of—thank you. To @maxinedoyle1@hope_youngblood_heck@davidrafaelbotana@ericjacksonbradley thank you for believing in me.
This chapter was long, beautiful, strange, and unforgettable. And I will be bringing all of this with me as I move forward into what’s next.
