Looking to develop new creative relationships or rekindle any past ones!
I love playing with bold, metaphoric and psychological worlds to engage the emotional quality of a text.
In spaces big or small, clean or chaotic.
If that your vibe let’s grab a coffee and share our joys☺️
Couldn’t be prouder! A complete honour to be seen alongside these amazing artist.

I can't stop thinking about The Cherry Orchard at the Donmar!
I'd give anything to experience it again, looking deeper into its nuances and capturing each moment into my memory.
CONSTELLATIONS @ The Barn
Couldn’t have been prouder of this production. Curated with so much delicacy and joy from the whole team!
Direction: Jess Daniels
Design: Ethan Cheek
Lighting: Hector Murray
Sound: Amanda Priestly

“Stark lines and right angles, together with harsh, monochromatic lighting provide little comfort for certain, more poignant and emotionally-charged scenes, yet light and shadow are also cleverly employed to soften the mood for tender, intimate moments.”

“Ethan Cheek has provided a playing space that is alternatively harsh and brutal, or soft and warm… A rectangular mirror, leaning unused against a wall, hints at dimensions reachable only through a looking-glass”
