Hello! I am Phylly.

I am a theatre maker that enjoys designing, directing, performing, and dramaturging (basically anything in collaboration with other makers!).

​​

I work across disciplines to make live performance that is joyful and transparent about its creative process.

I work as a facilitator with multiple organisations to create community-led theatre and art work. This direct connection to the positive outcomes of art making is hugely inspiring and informs a great deal of the independent work I make.

​

I am a member of the collective Chicken Shop Hermits - founded by Hector Huang and Chiara Scoglio in 2023.
