Working at the intersection of production and curation, with eclectic, boundary-pushing artists and the institutions that support them.
Get in touch
I support artists and arts organisations to develop their visions within space, time, and budget, across live performance, live music, the club scene, and contemporary art.
Based in Berlin for over a decade, I have built a practice spanning both institutional and independent contexts, producing large-scale live events, developing dance programmes, and serving on national jury panels for choreography. My work moves fluidly between production and curation, bringing the same rigour to a 50-person event as to a 10,000+ person festival. Over the years I have built a reliable network of collaborators for alternative or institutional contexts: artists, musicians, choreographers, dancers, technical teams, front of house teams, and hospitality teams.
