Andrew works on the assumption that through art we can articulate our experiences, reflect on them and imagine other possibilities. He strongly believes that this process should be accessible, relatable but can also embrace the non-realistic, highly stylised or abstract. His work discusses relevant and topical subjects using innovative storytelling techniques to reach audiences in unexpected and novel ways. He has a wealth of experience in the creation of devised theatre in a solo capacity and in collaboration with other artists. |
