TEACHING

Learning
& creative practice.

My approach to all my teaching centres on creating safe, supportive learning environments where students can develop their unique voices.

University of Brighton

 I am Senior Lecturer in the Creative Writing Department. I am a member of the Centre for Arts and Wellbeing and was involved in a Digital Learning Partners Initiative award to develop filmmaking skills with MA and undergraduate screenwriters.

Adult & Community Teaching

I lead screenwriting courses at Depot Cinema, Lewes, and Lighthouse, Brighton. I have designed and led playwriting courses at Brighton Theatre Royal, and at Chichester Theatre. I have led a range of screenwriting and creative writing courses with New Writing South and at University of Sussex.

Community & Outreach

Collaborative projects include a poetry and photography project for Mid Sussex Council; an animated film project in schools for children with special educational needs; a writing project with visually impaired students at William Moon Lodge; a radio drama project with disabled young people for community radio CROW; and writing and publication projects with schools and libraries in Newhaven and Brighton.

For many years I worked with community publishers Queenspark Books, running writing groups, publishing pamphlets and organising open mic events.
