poetry for strangers

About Olivia

I’m a poet, playwright, and actor.

My work aims to foster empathetic connections between strangers through poetry. Graduate of The Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, I perform at events globally.

I am based in London, UK

Typewriter Poetry Event Activation



Guests approach as they wish, and I invite them to share a topic - or I offer a thoughtful, tailored question. After a brief exchange, I compose a bespoke poem on my vintage typewriter in about a minute, and present it as a gift.

An intimate, personalised encounter - each guest leaving with a tangible keepsake. With each interaction lasting 5–6 minutes, I’m able to create this experience for around 40 guests within a two-hour session.
