Since 1991, Cassandra has worked in theatres and festivals, around
galleries and museums, in and out of schools, by firelight and
starlight, from the depths of the jungle to the middle of the sea.
Inspired
by Asian interweaving of art forms, she combines elements of circus,
theatre and dance to create a style of storytelling that is truly her
own.
As a solo artist she has toured nationally and internationally, including Barbados, Laos, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.
As
teacher and trainer, she has inspired children and adults to tell
stories around the world. As a director she has: trained teenage
apprentice storytellers, devised performances with casts of ninety
children, directed solo and ensemble professional performances.
Above
all as an artist she is committed to making storytelling as accessible
as possible, to break down barriers and challenge discrimination. She
has worked with disabled people, arts, health and environmental
agencies, social services and children in care.
