INTRODUCING…
Bearcage Collective
As Artistic Director of Bearcage Collective, I write, direct, and perform original Australian theatre that challenges, inspires, and leaves a lasting impact.
Bearcage Collective is committed to mentoring and training the next generation of artists.
Through workshops, we help emerging creatives build their skills and bring their stories to life.
Works in development:
• GHOST BOX – A one-act play about old age and the things we leave behind.
• THE WORLD ENDED – An interactive theatre experience that puts the audience at the centre of the story.
