Meet Alex

Jack's Friend and Silly-yak Creator

Hello I am Alexandra, SILLY-YAK writer and illustrator and Creative Leader of Chasing Lions drama adventures. I have been performing, directing and creating theatre and music experiences in Newcastle for since 2014 and have seen how performance can enhance and enrich lives. At 13 I was diagnosed with three chronic autoimmune conditions and found my strength, passion and drive through creativity and connecting to my wider community.
