In 2024, they debuted their work-in-progress play ‘What They Can’t See’ at Contact Theatre, exploring the question “What makes a house a home?” Through a blend of movement and drama, the play examines the complexities of growing up within two cultures.
Since 2023, they have been the Writer’s Assistant for the Royal Exchange’s Young Company writers’ group, while also contributing dramaturgical support to productions including ‘Another Life’ for The Manchester Confucius Institute and ‘Chameleon’ for HiveMCR, which featured in the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The film is set for release in 2025.
