Felicity is an award-winning Performance Director, Writer and Theatremaker from Sydney, Australia. After graduating from the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) Directors Course, Felicity has gone on to work with prominent artists from around the world, including Ontroerend Goed (BEL), Punchdrunk & Gecko Physical Theatre (UK), Illutron (DEN) and Mammalian Diving Reflex (CAN). Felicity holds a particular interest in working with young people, and young queer people. This has led her to working with Australian Theatre for Young People, Spark Youth Theatre, Matriark Theatre, Monkey Baa Theatre, PACT Centre for Emerging Artists and Milk Crate Theatre (AUS), Mit Ohne Alles (GER), The Torontonians (CAN) and Company3 (UK).

Felicity is a proud queer, neurodivergent and disabled artist. Her work explores these identities, stereotypes and power dynamics. She does this by weaponising humour, history, politics and the body. Ultimately, Felicity’s work functions to reveal and disrupt systems of authority in order to empower and envisage equitable new worlds. She has created work for Dark Mofo, Sydney WorldPride (AUS), Theater Neumarkt (CHE), 10 Nodi Festival (IT), Cork Midsummer Festival (IRE), Ruhrtriennale (GER), HAVEN Festival (DEN) and Wiener Festwochen (AUT).

Felicity has also worked as a cultural curator, creating artistic and socially engaged projects and programs across government, cultural organisations, festivals and the independent and mainstream theatre sectors. She has produced programming for UTS, the Inner West Council, the City of Sydney, Wear It Purple, Shopfront Youth Arts, 107 Projects and Sydney World Pride. Career highlights include directing at The Sydney Opera House, creating a one-on-one performance for audiences in a moving car, directing a non-verbal performative memorial via clowning, beer and a slideshow, and co-creating Take My Hand, where she married strangers for ten minutes in Copenhagen.

Felicity is a recipient of grants from Australia Council for the Arts, CREATE NSW, The Ian Potter Foundation, Accessible Arts, Fundability, a Mike Walsh Fellowship and a Sandra Bates Directors Award. She has been an artist in residence at Bundanon, Hot House Theatre, The Big C (AUS) and Wanås Konst (SWE). Felicity holds a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre & Performance from UNSW, a Bachelor of Art History & Theory from the College of Fine Arts, UNSW and a Postgraduate Diploma (Direction) from NIDA.

In all that we do, we acknowledge that the foundations of Milk Crate Theatre are on Gadigal Land of the Eora Nation and that wherever we create, we walk in the footprints of the ancestors that were here before us. We pay respect to Elders past, present and to walk side by side, hand in hand for a healing future.
