About Me
Hello, Bonjour!
I am a performer, theatre-maker, creative practitioner and arts educator with 10+ years of experience in the performing arts and education sectors.
Originally from the South of France, I have been living and working in the UK for over 15 years and am now based in Edinburgh, Scotland. For seven years, I ran Theatre Sans Accents, an award-winning bilingual theatre company which promoted language learning through the arts as well as produced performances by international artists in Scotland.
Over the years, I have had the chance to collaborate with leading Scottish arts, cultural and academic organisations such as Imaginate, Fringe Society, University of Edinburgh, Children’s Parliament, Hidden Doors Festival, Institut Francais d’Ecosse, British Arts Council, Lyra, Starcatchers, Stirling University, YTAS, EIF, Bilingualism Matters, National Galleries of Scotland.
My artistic practice:
- devising,

- play-based and rights-based approaches
- multicultural, multilingual and multi-sensory
- children’s theatre
- community theatre and audience engagement
- interactive, site specific and immersive performance
My interests:
- working with a wide range of audiences (from babies to care homes)
- themes of communication, language(s), identity, relationships and home
- using different mediums : video, stage, digital.
My passions:
- diverse representation on the UK stage

- fair, inclusive and equal access to the arts for all
- collaboration and connections between native and non-native Scottish artists and communities
