My Writing Practice
P
My writing practice spans theatre, poetry, prose, screenwriting, comedy, devised performance, and experimental forms. Over the years, I have written many stage plays, sketch comedy, sitcom concepts, short films, interdisciplinary performance works, and reflective, narrative, and poetic pieces exploring the complexity of human experience.
I am fascinated by language and storytelling, by the ways words can reveal, conceal, disrupt, comfort, provoke, and connect. My work often moves between humour and heartbreak, absurdity and intimacy, and theatricality and emotional honesty.
I am interested in stories that feel grounded in lived experience

It's been a long time since I can remember family theatre being so
clever, so slick and so much darn fun. This is not one to miss.

“I write because some things are too alive to stay trapped inside the body or the unspoken mind. Because words have the power to make us feel less alone. To crack us open. To help us recognise ourselves — and each other — a little more clearly.”
- Kendall Bryant
