The Story So Far

They have since worked with both classical and contemporary texts appearing as Beatrice in Groundling Theatre's production of Much Ado About Nothing and as Carla in Enigma Theatre's Production of Comic Potential.
Over the last few years, Julian has worked extensively as a Puppeteer.
Julian has garnered experience with short/long rod, hand, bunraku and large/full body puppets, working as a principal puppeteer on SPITTING IMAGE LIVE at the Birmingham REP, for IN THE NIGHT GARDEN LIVE and with Illyria Theatre's DOCTOR DOLITTLE. They also performed with their own puppet in Groundling’s Pantomime Aladdin.
Julian is an experienced voice artist. They have worked with Inrix Media for 8 years providing traffic and travel bulletins to radio stations across the South East, including BBC Local Radio, Smooth, Magic, Absolute and LBC. They can also be heard in award-winning podcast OBLIVITY, and in HYPATIA'S MATHEMATICAL MAZE for BBC Bitesize.
