My new show ‘FIXING’, made with Peader Kirk, is coming to Alphabetti Theatre this November for a 3-week run! (5th-23rd)
We’re also showing a 45-minute work-in-progress at Nottingham Playhouse on October 23rd for Amplify Festival and Queer Up Duck Festival
I’m massively grateful for funding and support from Arts Council England, Alphabetti Theatre, Nottingham Playhouse and Attenborough Arts Centre Leicester for making this happen.
It’d be lovely to see you at one of the shows – find details and ticket links just below!
workshops
I have facilitated projects in teaching stage writing, poetry and performance for various schools and universities. I love sharing skills, particularly with young people, and approach workshops as opportunities for facilitated co-creation creation with participants.
Poetry
Matt has performed poetry venues around the UK, including The Nottingham Playhouse, Northern Stage, and the Olympic Park, and was a member of poetry collective The Mouthy Poets from 2011-2014. Matt was selected as one of BBC Three’s Verb New Voices in 2014.
Theatre
I have co-produced and performed in shows with Peader Kirk such as Fitting, and Sticking. Currently, I am performing Fixing at Alphabetti Theatre and the Nottingham Playhouse.
