About me
I am a comedic/dramatic actor/musician and storyteller. I am a mezzo-soprano singer and trained in dance/physical theatre.I got my equity in 1988 and worked as an actor with many companies in T.V., community and educational theatre, touring in dance theatre until the mid 90s
I took a MA and MPhil in Performing Arts for which I researched Sami (Indigenous Reindeer Herders) Communities in the Arctic.
I performed as a folk singer at International festivals, venues and clubs in Norway, Finland, Russia and the UK. I was recorded live and interviewed on Norwegian NRK radio and BBC Radio Kent.
In 2006 I became Artistic Director of Root and Branch Theatre Company exploring folk arts, theatre and Animal Guising- stories from the land-website-http://www.rootandbranchtheatre.co.uk
I recently completed the Professional Development Course at London International School of Performing Arts in LeCoq based Physical Theatre (Oct 2011-March 2012).
Additional skills:
I am good animal guiser this is full body mask. I am also good storyteller and have strong clown and comedy skills.
I am good with costume which I have made and designed. I learnt object based theatre on my course at London Lispa I am also good at make up especially for the stage.
Additional information:
