CV & About

About

You made it this far! Cheers for sticking with me.

Here's a wee bit more about G and my many many hats:

So, I'm a Playwright, Poet, Performer & Producer, originally from Bordon, East Hampshire. I love work that mucks around with form, audience engagement and harnesses accessibility at its core.

I've been writing for over 10 years now, and had my first play produced at the ripe old age of 18. (No, it wasn't very good, no, you can't read it, no, it'll never see the light of day again).

Since 2014, I've also worked as a community arts facilitator; curating workshops and projects from young people and people from disadvantaged backgrounds, beginning at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford and gaining experience with Chichester Festival Theatre amongst many others.

Alongside all that, I'm also a producer in outreach events, whilst being a dab hand in Digital Marketing. Oh, and I'm a videographer and co-artistic Director of ChewBoy Productions. In case I needed to fill my time with anything else.

Below is a bit more of a standardised CV, so less fun, but more of a round-up of everything you could ever want.
