January was sponsored by launching a K-Pop theatre show 🤩 Celebrating the genre of the moment and tributing the amazing artists and songs of that genre, we threw ourselves into an intense and whirlwind rehearsal period which culminated in an incredible launch day at Bradford Live 💫

Working in a different creative capacity and tapping back into those producing years, it was both absorbing and wild (just as I remember!)

Shout out to the incredible creatives I stood alongside to bring this to life.
Jane you are a force to be reckoned with 💛
You created magic in the studio and onstage. What a triumph 💛
Making sure the finished product was backed fantastically digitally 💛
& Boz - tour managers extraordinaire 🙌🏻

And lastly to the amazing cast who worked tirelessly to bring this to life. Kudos to you all 👏

is officially on tour and kicking ass 🙌🏻💖

Annie ❤️ @ The Old Market, Hove. April 2025

Was absolutely wonderful to be back with the brilliant cast of Annie as they brought their shows to a rapturous close yesterday 🥹

As the tears flowed, I watched this beautiful company of people realise just what they have achieved these past few months, and I left beaming with happiness.

So many friendships forged. So many fears overcome. So many “I’m not sure I can” turned into “I just did!” 🙌🏻
Phoenix Theatre Company is a family. Open to anyone to explore their dreams. It’s safe, and loving and nurturing. And to watch so many people thrive in that environment is truly humbling.

I am blessed to work alongside Amanda & Brogan. Both absolute genius people, who embrace every madcap idea or wild suggestion i might have ☺️ We collaborate happily, and I am forever grateful to them both. Creatives can sometimes be brought down - just like artists - if the environment is poor, but not at Phoenix. As much as the cast have done, I have felt supported, and valued and it brings out the best in everyone 🫶🏻🥰

This show has meant so much to all of us. Will certainly carry it in my heart ❤️❤️❤️

Thankyou ###

I’ve been running away to Brighton the past few months to spend time creating and working on this show 🥰

PTC Arts Academy CIC create the most amazing opportunities for performers and this show is set to be absolutely joyous 🙌🏻💖

The cast are super, the children playing the orphans blow me away. The show is full of heart and you’re guaranteed to be smiling/crying in equal measure 🥹

This weekend my heart is with the wonderful company of Snow White as they take their final bows of the season 🎭💫

Thankyou to the fantastic creatives I got to work alongside - every day was so fulfilling and full of support and fun. The best possible environment to create in. I just loved our time building this 🫶🏻❤️

To the wonderful crew and backstage team who worked tirelessly and who indulged many a choreographers whim 🙈☺️ I’m so grateful 🙏

To our fabulous cast 🤩 Hard working, super talented and genuinely nice people 🥺🥰 You are all amazing at what you do, and it’s been a privilege to be your choreographer ###

Lastly… to my dancers ❤️ (or the magic 4 as Jack named you!) Always my favourite times are working in the studio and bringing mad thoughts I’ve had to life ☺️ You were with me every step, and I’m forever grateful for your generosity, your talent and your supreme hard work ###
