Notes

My skills extend across multiple sectors of the arts. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Film & TV Production from Adelaide College of the Arts which has led to work as film crew on screen productions of Mortal Kombat (Warner Bros Features / New Line Cinema, 2019), First Day (ABC / Epic TV, 2019), Wanted (7 Network / Matchbox Pictures, 2018) and Pine Gap (Netflix / ABC, 2018). Additionally, I work as an independent contractor within the film industry for several professional clients/organisations. Aside from my work in screen production, I work in professional theatre and live performance for companies such as No Strings Attached Theatre of Disability, True North Youth Theatre Ensemble, Showtime Attractions, Mighty Good Entertainment, Festival Statesmen Chorus and Brink Productions. I am a founding member and producer of the musical improvisation comedy collective Spoonerise This and have produced and performed in their improvised musical comedy show Vicarious Cabaret for five successful consecutive years in the Adelaide Fringe. Additionally, I have directed community theatre projects such as Counting Bars (MKM, 2015), Pretty Boys (Festival Statesmen Chorus, 2017), Choir Boys (Festival Statesmen Chorus, 2018), and co-directed Tough Boys (Festival Statesmen Chorus, 2020). Furthermore, I am an inaugural graduate of Bachelor of Music Theatre (University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium of Music). During my time in the course, I was involved in the following productions; Spring Awakening (Dir. George Torbay), Cabaret (Dir. Erin James) and Mamma Mia (Dir. Zoë Komazec). Notably, I produced and directed Songs for a New World (Jason Robert Brown), as a feature film for the 2020 student cohort (in place of a live production due to COVID-19). Additionally, I undertook the role of inaugural president of the Elder Conservatorium Music Theatre Association – a student run organisation representing the students of the Bachelor of Music Theatre. As a working artist, I aim to cement my artistic endeavours firmly within the South Australian arts sector with local organisations. I am passionate about creating professional opportunities for artists and creatives in South Australia.
