EARLY WORK
After writing and producing my first production, Aesop’s Fables in 2011 and writing several short plays for The Village Pub Theatre, I was a mentored playwright with the Playwrights’ Studio in 2015 and . That same year she also received funding from Creative Scotland and the Tom McGrath Trust to develop a mixed-media piece called Shame, which later was performed at the 2017 Fringe, produced by Tidy Carnage. She was a finalist for the Tron Theatre’s Progressive Playwright Award in 2016 with another play, Boudicca’s Daughters, and in 2017 wrote a specially commissioned piece with musician Heir of the Cursed for TYCI at Declaration Festival.
I was also commissioned to write Dear Human with musicians Audrey Tait and Lauren Gilmour (Novasound) for the Measuring Humanity project by Dr. Marisa de Andrade of the University of Edinburgh. This piece was later published by The Lancet medical journal. We also worked together on Closed Doors which ran at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2018 and were commissioned by Hopscotch Theatre Company to write Check, One, Two, a play with songs about maths for children age 7+ which toured Scotland that Autumn.
My spoken word piece High Land, created with musician Altered Mode, premiered at Coastival Scarborough in February 2019. Later that year I won the ICONS commission from Perth Museum and Art Gallery to create an installation about the life of Flora MacDonald.
