As an actor director and trainer, I have worked for over 16 years with disadvantaged and disaffected groups using drama & theatre methods for workshops projects and learning programmes in project delivery, development and management, particulary in the areas of criminal justice, community arts, mental health, local authority, education and social services.

I develop projects and programmes that explore the impact of behaviour on adults & young people and people at risk, their families and others. This is achieved by, looking at the causes and consequences of the actions that have led them to act/offend.

The projects and programmes themselves vary from more recreational, usually drama-based activities leading to theatre or digital multi media productions, to projects and programmes that analyse and challenge behaviour and help them resist the forces of exclusion and institutionalisation as well build and develop key social/life skills.
