Hello from freya
As a collaborative theatre maker and artist, I create independent theatre and performances.
​
In addition to creating theatre for the stage, I've brought, stories, movement or clowning to hospitals, care homes, prisons, art centres, academia, libraries, on the street, community spaces. This helps anyone in any space to engender fantasy, find sparkle in difficult times or stories to expand emotions or fit individual needs.
