I am a theatre maker specialising in play and make most of my work through Mufti Games in my role as Creative Director. I use play, games and theatrical devices to create playful experiences and engage audiences in ideas. I often work in outdoor arts, where happenstance enables high accessibility -a key value of my practice. People can stumble across my work, join in and watch as much or little as they desire. I often start with known games, heritage or folk art connecting to a shared history which allows us to break down barriers of engagement. I was a Leverhulme Scholar attached to Bristol Old Vic Ferment in 2017 where I developed my practice around play theory and thinking. I am currently researching creative interventions across the globe for my arts council supported Developing Your Creative Practice grant. I am an experienced workshop host and a certified LEGO SERIOUS PLAY facilitator. 

Mufti Games create playful and memorable experiences for all ages. We make and tour our own work and create games for others- to engage audiences in exhibitions, ideas and projects.  

Our associates include actors, musicians, theatre directors, producers, designers and makers who love to make and play games. We love to be part of the worldwide play community!

We’re proud that our work is well researched, thoughtful, unique and of course massively fun to play.
