What do you do:
Make theatre, mostly by directing.
When did you get into it?
Assistant directing Glengarry Glen Ross in 2001; I realised it was a lot of fun when everyone listened to me.
Who or what influences you as an artist?
Good storytellers, bold and passionate practitioners (both local and international), often, unfortunately, (the lack of) money.
What's your biggest achievement/proudest moment so far?
Sam Shepard's massive families-in-crisis epic A Lie of the Mind for papermoon in April this year.
What are your plans for the future?
Finish my PhD in Drama and achieve international notoriety - whether as a director or the fashionable and universally beloved wife of a despot I don't mind.
What makes you laugh?
Rehearsal rooms full of really tired people; How I Met Your Mother; gin.
What pisses you off?
David Koch; insincerity; plastic cutlery.
What's your opinion of the local scene?
I think the amateur/pro-am theatre scene in Canberra is perhaps the greatest rebuttal to the claim that our city has no soul.
What are your upcoming performances/exhibitions?
Federico Garcia Lorca's Blood Wedding for moonlight July 31 to August 8 at the ANU Arts Centre.
