I am a writer, theatre-maker, and live artist.
I’m interested in themes of work, intimacy, grief, Judaism, criminalisation and the body.
I am finishing a practice-based PhD in Creative Writing and Gender Studies at the University of Sussex, for which I am writing Choke, a dyke hooker revenge fantasy novella. My thesis, “Sex Worker Feminism”, analyses the politics of UK sex worker activism since 1975.
I co-curate the Sistxrhood Clubhouse trans performance night at Glastonbury Festival. In 2024 I was part of the Royal Court Theatre’s Playwrighting Group, writing the play Uppers.
From 2020-2024 I was co-creative director of Homos and Houmous, a queer Jewish theatre company.
Other performances include: Tate Britain and Modern, the Royal Court Theatre, Hayward Gallery, ICA, Latitude festival.
