David is a writer and director who nurtures the shared experience of the individual and amplifies the stories of communities.
Creatively, through his work, he crafts honest, warm and funny narratives that deal with issues and complexities with sincerity and heart.
Influenced by his own working class childhood, where gender stereotypes were broke from the day he was born, David finds the tenderness of masculinity and the fierceness of femininity, which flow through his writing. He is fascinated by the othering of sections of society which he channels his own queerness through.
In his facilitating, producing and teaching he goes beyond the designated structures and titles of those roles, in order to disband with labels and hierarchy. Making a space that is safe, where every individual understands their value and is confident to push beyond their comfort zone.
Exploring large and difficult ideas in a personal and humorous way that allows the tricky to be said and the playful to be explored.
