Hello! I am Phylly.

I am a theatre maker that enjoys directing, performing, and dramaturging (basically anything in collaboration with other makers!).

​​

I work across disciplines to make live performance that is joyful and transparent about its creative process.

I love creating devised theatre that heavily incorporates material and design into its development, which often leads me to working with puppeteers and visual artists.

​

I am a member of the collective Chicken Shop Hermits - founded by Hector Huang and Chiara Scoglio in 2022.
