Whether you’re embedding BSL into performance, shaping inclusive rehearsal spaces, or consulting on best practice, support is tailored to the needs of your project.

BSL-Integrated Choreography
Creating choreography that blends BSL with dance and storytelling, he works across a spectrum - from signed musical sequences to danced sign language - depending on the brief.

Movement Direction for Deaf Performers
Supporting Deaf artists in rehearsals and creative development - from coaching physicality and rhythm to working in BSL on movement interpretation - He has helped adapt scripts into signed movement that remains true to both the language and the intended style.
