The Girl Whose Twin was a Bird
‘The Girl Whose Twin was a Bird’ is my third full length play and first solo puppet performance
‘The Girl Whose Twin Was a Bird’ is an absurdly funny and touching coming of age story about growing up as twins.

In November 2024, I completed a two month residency in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, with Papermoon Puppet Theatre. I used the residency to explore the potential of using puppetry for my new play ‘Bird Bird’. The residency culminated in a public presentation where I performed the a work in progress version of the first half of the show.
This residency was made possible with generous funding from Asia New Zealand Foundation’s Artist Practitioner’s Fund.
