Selected acting creditsDirecting and devising

Her interests as a theatre maker go beyond the theatre of mere entertainment. She focuses on creating a theatre that grows from the honesty of the actor’s body and its capacity to make visible the invisible, with the intention of provoking in the audience new questions about existence and theatre itself.
