Sally, a passionate theatre professional, possesses expertise in acting, movement, writing, and directing. Holding a degree in Theatre from Bretton Hall, specialist training in Physical Theatre and Theatre for Young People through international creation centre, Liverpool Hope Street and an MA in Physical Theatre from Royal Holloway, Sally has extensive training in both drama and movement based theatre. She has worked as a touring actor, writer performing arts teacher (both mainstream and SEN) and director, seeing productions realised in venues including Liverpool Epstein (formerly Neptune) theatre, London’s Cockpit, the Canal Café Theatre, Harrow Arts Centre, Watford Pumphouse and Queens Park Arts Centre, as well as a variety of non-traditional theatre venues in the north west and London areas. Her work within an inclusive environment holds special significance for her, valuing the diversity and collaboration that generates unique and inspiring theatre productions.

Sally feels very passionate about theatre being for everyone. Although many venues have improved access for audiences, opportunities for performers of all backgrounds is still an area that needs championing. For Sally, being part of The Theatre Shed offers her a distinctive opportunity for learning and sharing within inclusive theatre. Shed represents a beacon for how society could and should be more inclusive. As a neurodivergent theatre professional, Sally resolutely believes in creating a supportiveand inclusive creative environment at The Theatre Shed, using her personal experiences to understand and enable members to express themselves freely, never underestimating the potential and skills of all performers and creatives.

Her dedication to the charity centres around its distinct and invaluable work, ensuring the organisation continues to challenge conventional ideas through its unique brand of inclusive theatre. Her commitment to inclusivity led her to attain a level 3 BSL qualification, conduct training sessions on understanding disability and inclusive language for other organisations and undergraduate and postgraduate students, and trained as a bronze, silver and gold Arts Award Advisor.
