As well as regularly live illustrating and designing sets for improv shows, she also currently performs with 'Allegory of the Cave' (a shadow theatre show), 'The Pretend Company', and her duo 'Empty Set' (who's current show 'Echoes of This Place' combines live painting, printmaking and improvisation). <h2>Creating A Dynamic Canvas</h2> Have you ever created a rich, dynamic character on stage, but struggled to picture the world they live in?
