Sam has a large repertoire of his own work that has been commissioned and performed internationally. His practice is a blend of eclectic artistic elements, merging Clowning, Mask, and Mime with intricate choreography. The result is a body of work characterised by satire, dark humour, and absurdism. Sam has been working between Europe and Australia since 2021.
