I want to create a theatre which every person has a voice no matter the
colour, no matter the religion no matter the
social class, no matter where they're from - every
single person can have a voice in theatre.
I would love to make theatre that inspires people and
really makes social change and starts a conversation going.
I am an actor, a writer and a budding theatre maker
and I want audiences to know they matter and feel represented.
I want to get involved in Old Vic Theatre Makers because i think it's really
important to advocate for a new and inventive way of theatre making.
that helps you get around obstacles against being creative.
I like theatre that explores race and sexuality and marginalised
people coming to the forefront taking that stage telling their story i think
that's super powerful and super necessary.
I want to not only shed light on people of colour within the LGBT community but
also within the disability community but I hope to use a naturalistic style to
not only do this but inspire and comfort those who struggle with their identity.
I am yearning to start learning, to collaborate, to create,
to share my stories and elevate those of people around me.
The theatre I would like to make is theatre that tells of people's history
and heritage with pride and honesty.
Ultimately, I'm interested in challenging the definition, function
and cultural associations of theatre.
I want to tell stories about the community,
I want to tell stories about people just like me.
I would like to make theatre that
celebrates being Black and British, that celebrates
that experience, that celebrates black joy -
that doesn't just showcase black trauma because I see that a lot...
Theatre that inspires my little sister and makes her proud.
The theatre i want to make is the
theatre that includes stories from immigrants,
unrepresented people, unrepresented countries.
I'd love to make the kind of theatre that gives someone else the sense of
permission to tell their story.
I want to tell stories that are
currently unheard, I'd love to do a whole show in spoken word.
I want to make theatre that's really... Glaswegian
I quickly fell in love with theatre because I realised what a powerful
medium it was to transport people to another world and also to educate people
about, well not just about social and political
issues, but just about the lives and circumstances of
people all living all over the world might have just to make
people aware of that, give them a glimpse into the life of someone else
far away from where they live.
I'd love the chance to create theatre and stories about people from the working class,
about voices that have been unheard and voices that have been outspoken.
I'm inspired by theater based on true stories, political intrigue and
plays that hone expertly into the inner workings of specific worlds.
I''m inspired by stories of friendships and human dynamics.
I love movement, song and rhythm
and I want to create work that takes people back through nostalgia
or bring people forward in time with hope.
I love to produce content that challenges stereotypes, that produces thought-provoking concepts,
that makes you want to re-evaluate life, makes you want to
challenge the ideals and the social constructs.
...Stories that represent the rawest form of you,
the rawest form of me, and the rawest form of us.
I'm interested in how spaces shape the people within them and the
assumptions and expectations that they impose on them.
