2055. The Programme has driven Deafness underground. Using sign language is forbidden and is a radical act of protest, evoking suspicion and oppression. Is Martha’s cabaret club a welcome home for an excluded minority, a safe haven for potential terrorists or something even more sinister?
When Edith tries to infiltrate this guarded community, her world is blown apart as hidden histories, family secrets and the lies of the state are brought explosively to light.

I was asked by Taking Flight: Wales’s leading accessible theatre company, to design a print poster and accompanying digital assets to promote their latest play. They wanted something that felt sci-fi-noir but also handmade and a bit gritty. The illustration was digitally painted before typesetting the poster and programme then applying it across diffreent outputs.

Business Plan

Impelo are a small but mighty arts CIO with a reputation for a socially engaged, inventive, and ambitious approach, redefining community dance and arts in a rural context. Through partnerships, community practice, participants, and audiences, they introduce fresh, exciting perspectives on dance across generations and reach those most in need—whether isolated from their community, unable to attend other arts activities, or facing barriers to participation.

Impelo approached me to design and typeset their 2023 business plan to aid further funding of the organisation. It was to be used primarily as a digital resource, and they needed a limited run printed. Using their archive of photography, I incorporated illustrative flourishes and photo treatments that followed the organisation’s brand guidelines and visual style, with free rein to bring some of my own ideas into the mix.

Bi-lingual brand design and social media for Articulture’s National Outdoor Gathering for the Arts, A biannual event aimed at those interested in the creation of live outdoor arts in Wales and internationally, for a small two-day gathering at The Lodge in the Cambrian mountains.

The gathering gave space for some new flames to light up the creative landscape of Wales and beyond.

A weekend of sharing plans and aspirations, cooking and dancing with special guests.

It is claimed that there are more food banks than McDonalds in the UK.

Working with Foleshill Community Centre, Hungry Nation Part 1 presented themes around how food poverty and access to food affects real lives of the people in Coventry.

For this second stage, a creative team and a cast of professional actors and community participants are working together using storytelling, games, research and creative activity to develop a piece of theatre that reflects the everyday lives of those experiencing food poverty. Join us to reflect on these journeys and to debate what Coventry’s ‘Right to Food’ pledge really means.

 

Cover art for a series of podcast plays produced by Dirty Protest Theatre

Network Play Readings with National Theatre Wales saw Dirty Protest present three short plays written by three early career Welsh writers. These plays were designed to be listened to in the form of a podcast and were specifically been created to accompany a daily exercise and routine.

Double Drop
1995. The rites and ceremonies of the Eisteddfod collide with the communion and transcendence of a rave.

Soaring
1999. Two strangers from opposite sides of Wales are brought together through cassette conversations.

Unbound
The end of the world. Two women bury birds.

What could we achieve if only we harnessed the power of the stardust and supernovas within us?

Determined that her young daughter will never lose the powerful, fierce magic she arrived into the world with, Katie sets off on a mission to create an instruction manual titled, How To Be Brave.

This brand-new, one-woman play follows Katie’s journey as she rides her BMX around Newport to find what she’s really made of. By listening to the unheard voices of the city itself, she begins to question what the women who have gone before can teach her about how to be brave in this confusing, quick-changing world we live in.
