testimonials
"I asked Naomi to devise and co-direct our senior youth theatre's performance piece with me because of my trust in her to bring her range of skills and focussed style of working to the group. Her energy and creativity ensured we all went on a journey culminating in a polished piece of ensemble performance, which had exposed us to a very professional level of devising and physical theatre techniques. Every member of the group reached their potential by the time they performed, and in addition I also gained valuable professional development by working alongside her."
