The Art Of Falling Over

Below is a selection of work relevant to the project in development “The Art Of Falling Over”.

Le Croisement (2023) - My final piece from my study at Ecole Jacques Lecoq 2021-2023, devised as an ensemble under my direction. This illustrates the style of physical comedy combining clown, absurd and high energy Commedia-style performance.

Scripts for Le Croisement and Termination Notice (2024) - I am hoping to develop a number of scenarios in the style of Le Croisement, centering on the world of espionage, building to a full-length play called “Counter-Intelligence”. Termination Notice is another scenario I am developing, and the script for Le Croisement features an improved conclusion.

The Hungry God (2021) - A short film shot in a single take on 8mm film (in the New Forest) for the Straight8 competition. Again, showing the approach I wish to take to physical comedy, combining the techniques of silent era film with dark and mysterious themes.

The Unseen Hour - Sciatica (2019) - An episode of The Unseen Hour which I wrote, produced, directed and performed in. This episode was performed at the London Podcast Festival.

DROLL (2019) - Performed for the University of Chicago as part of their programme on censorship.

A leather Commedia dell’Arte mask (2023) - This is the mask that I made as part of the mask-making course at the Sartori museum in Italy in 2023. Since then I have continued exploring and developing my own approach to theatrical mask-making, and have been commissioned to supply masks for theatrical training. My mask-making enterprise, False Faces, is part of the New Forest Marque.

Over My Dead Body! (2015) - a short film which I co-wrote, co-directed and acted in.
