He debuted as Benji in Bad Feminist for The Blue Room Theatre, earning a PAWA nomination for his performance, and has since collaborated with leading companies across Australia — including Spare Parts Puppet Theatre, AWESOME Arts, Company Bad, Fremantle Australia, and Sailing with Styx — as a performer, deviser, and theatre maker.

Acknowledgement of Country

Spare Parts Puppet Theatre respectfully acknowledges the Whadjuk Noongar people as the traditional owners and custodians of the unceded land on which we work. As we tour our work across these vast lands, we pay our respect to all First Nations elders, past and present. We celebrate their continuing connection and contribution to culture, country and community, and thank all First Nations peoples for their wisdom in caring for the land, the sky, the rivers and the sea.
