Written and produced under the moniker Phloxwn, in association with Caldew Press, with support from Tolivar Productions, Patchwork Opera, Carlisle Collective Fringe and Cumbria County Council.
Exploring the breaths and silence we need and the cathartic process of re-connecting with oneself once back out in nature, this eerie pieces uses field recordings of nature as well as my vocals.

#LikeForLike - by Clare Louise Roberts
A full length comedy play about how our ways of communicating in real life and understanding each other has changed due to becoming engrossed in social media. #LikeForLike (renamed On The Line as part of my re-launch plan!) was produced and performed at West Walls Theatre as part of the Carlisle Collective Fringe 2018. 'It's all fun and games until you accidentally press the 'like' button.' But for Mia the fun and games have just begun when she’s poring over Killian’s profile, much to the critique of her best friend Harper. But what do you do when you meet in real life? Watch how one innocent ‘like’ spirals for these two hapless selfie takers in this one-hour comedy at West Walls Theatre, where there’s so many privacy risks and not nearly enough hashtags. TL;DR? An accidental like but you can't click undo in real life.

Zelda's Song
- as part of Songs Inspired By Strong Women, a digital show developed in collaboration with Gwendolyn Fitz.
A show celebrating women from history for Women's History Month.
We gathered a bunch of female identifying artists to answer the brief in their own creative ways and live streamed the show on YouTube.
I wrote a poetic pop/jazz/folk song about the life of Zelda Fitzgerald who is an artist I admire greatly.
