Let’s tell some stories & make some Art!!

After pursuing my acting passions for over 20 Years didn't expect to fall in love with directing. It started off as a curiosity at first but upon reflection, the synergy of the actor and teacher into the director was the natural next step.

As a director, increasingly the focus of my creative work is on how the big philosophical, historical, social and spiritual questions, crises and dilemmas of our times comes down to what happens in the space between people and the potential for that space to illuminate truths that we may not have previously encountered or may have not been willing to accept.

As Assistant Director of The Gravitational Pull of Bernice Trimble (Factory Theatre / Obsidian Theatre), I was proud to be part of a production that moved audiences and critics alike:

Philip Akin has, once again, directed a piece of theatre that hits me right in the gut.

Gem of the Ocean is a superlative production and yet another must-see at Shaw this year.
