ACTIVISM

From canvassing for MPs to petitioning for gender-neutral toilets, I have always sought to bring about a better world both inside and outside of the theatre. I'm lucky to have gained a broad range of experience both from my degree which centered on teaching activism as well as volunteering within Green New Deal Rising, a youth organisation working to get the Green New Deal passed in parliament. While I consider all of my work political, with social change embedded in each and every show I work on, this section outlines my explicit activism. 

To summarise a few of my more recent actions:

  • I took part in a series of actions as part of Green New Deal Rising's "No Growth On a Dead Planet" campaign, including disrupting Wes Streeting to ask why his government is cutting support for the most vulnerable young people instead of taxing the super-rich and investing in our future, dropping a banner in Westminster Hall demanding the government listen to the Climate Change Committee, speaking outside of Shell's HQ with Just Treatment to call out Big Oil's fueling of the youth mental health crisis.

  • I was part of a series of actions with Green New Deal Rising during the election including disrupting Labour Manifesto Launch, telling Keir Starmer that "Youth Deserve Better" when it comes to the climate and the economy.

  • I spoke at Oily Money Out on behalf of Green New Deal Rising about the need to hold our politicians accountable to a just transition away from oil and gas. 

  • I was part of an action with Green New Deal Rising activists where we disrupted a panel at Labour Confrence 2023 sponsored by Offshore Energies UK, calling on Keir Starmer to revoke Rosebank.

  • Along with other Green New Deal Rising activists, I infiltrated and disrupted MP and Head of Immigration Robert Jenrick to demand answers about 222 missing asylum-seeking children. 

  • With Kate Marlais and Sarah Middleton supported by Mercury Musical Development, I helped research the large discrepancies in the gender balance of composers, lyricists, and playwrights in UK theatre.

  • I've produced a series of panels with Musical Theatre Network focusing on marginalised groups and practical steps theatre makers and producers can take to make theatre more open.

  • I've written multiple open letters signed by the likes of Travis Alabanza, Morgan Lloyd Malcolm, and Chris Sonnex regarding trans representation within theatre. 

  • Successfully petitioned Rose Bruford to create gender-neutral bathrooms on their campus.
