Meet Anthony!
'Shaping the Lives of Tomorrow's Creative Innovators; One Kickline at a Time'
Anthony is a Director, Producer, and Arts Educator reshaping children's and family theatre in London, the SW of England, and across the globe. With a commitment to authenticity and innovation, he crafts intelligent, playful, and imaginative narratives for young people and families that tackle crucial real-world issues head-on.
Rejecting the traditional 'fairytale-on-stage', Anthony creates visually stunning and tonally unique performances, proving that children's theatre can defy categorization. In his productions, young audiences aren't passive spectators—they're active participants (sometimes shaping the story's direction). By placing young people at the forefront of his process, Anthony looks to spark curiosity, empathy, and imagination in young minds everywhere, empowering them to see themselves as agents of change.
Anthony's work is dynamic, playful, and relevant, and he loves working on musicals, immersive productions, and gig-theatre.
He has worked internationally for a variety of arts establishments and companies, from Off-West End Theatre to large-scale building and national Theatre-in-Education tours; and has lengthy experience working as a Resident/Associate and Assistant for directors such as Luke Sheppard, Hannah Chissick, Andy Fickman, and Michael Gyngell.
He is also the Managing Director of Junction Theatre Academy; an emerging Performing Arts School based in Clapham.
