I worked as Dramaturg and Director on THRIVE: be the Architect of your Health and Happiness, the national live tour by Dr Rangan Chatterjee – one of the UK’s most trusted voices in health and wellbeing, and the author of six best-selling books.

Rangan came into the process with a clear vision and a rich bank of material drawn from his books and podcast. My role was to shape that material into a live experience that felt distinctively theatrical and powerfully human. I moved fluidly between acting as a writer, director, and dramaturg – advocating for the audience and helping craft an evening that delivered collective moments of individual empowerment.

We focused on the invitation to the audience: what it meant to be present, what they would take away, and how the evening could feel like more than a talk – a shared, transformative experience that couldn’t be replicated on the page or through headphones.
