Directing

After working on more traditional theatrical productions as an assistant director, I now utilise my directing skills to realise innovative live digital theatre productions that take place in video game worlds. My major work, Asynchrony: An Interactive Minecraft Experience, saw audience members log into a hand-crafted Minecraft server where they were voice connected to actors and fellow audience members as they played through a 90 minute interactive story adventure.

I most recently worked with Riverland Youth Theatre to create a digital theatre program run using Minecraft and Discord to provide greater opportunities for kids across the Riverland in rural South Australia to participate in group theatre workshops and productions.

Directing credits include:

  • Treetops to Towers, Director & Lead Facilitator, Riverland Youth Theatre 2021 - 2022

  • Asynchrony: An Interactive Minecraft Experience, Creative Director & Producer, MUST & Sequence Break Productions for independent season (2021) and the Edinburgh (2021) and Adelaide (2022) Fringe Festivals

    • Winner of the Adelaide Fringe BankSA weekly award for Best Digital, Film & Interactive work

Tech Operation / Programming / Lighting Design

I work as a freelance lighting designer, programmer and all-round theatre tech operator. Whether I’m designing or hitting the GO button, I love nothing more than a well-timed, snappy lighting change!
