For as long as they can remember, Chips has been passionate about telling stories. Since early 2013, they’ve explored the practice of storytelling through theatre. As someone who lives with ADHD, there’s a special place in their heart for the spontaneous. They love how theatre can impact, affect, and move people’s hearts and minds. It’s a powerful tool that can be used to support growth and stimulate change.
Like many others in the creative industries, they’ve found themselves wearing many different hats. With a preference for acting, they’ve also directed, written, produced, stage managed and supported various productions. Most recently, you may have seen them perform with A-Z theatre at MoAD’s “After Dark” (2023), in the Mill Theatre production of the Torrents (2022), they worked on the premiere season of DEMENTED by Ruth Pieloor (2022), and toured nationally with the Rebus Theatre Playback ensemble (2022).
As a trans, queer, BIPOC, differently abled human, Chips is no stranger to discrimination - especially in theatre spaces. At Rebus, Chips has finally found themselves in a space that is as passionate about creating and driving change as they are: A space to be who they are, however they come.
Chips works for Rebus as an iDrama facilitator, Assistant Director for Project Alchemy and Re-Emergence, a performer with Rebus’ Playback Theatre Ensemble and if you watch carefully, you may just get to see them on an insta takeover!
