Tom is an actor, theatre maker, clown, youth worker, educator and all-round theatre nerd who lives in Norwich. He’s also an avid gamer, roleplayer and larper. His work has always explored the relationship between games and performance, and how people use them to explore and reimagine their own reality.
He established Native Reality to draw these strands together and create work which gives audiences and participants the power to tell their own unique stories in a collaborative and supportive environment which can be tailored to communal and individual needs.
