** Flexible hours due to the nature of my work involving weekends and evenings. I have more lieu time than they can ever really give back to me, so provided something isn't set in stone, I can swoop out of a day or more to undertake other things on relatively short notice.

THEATRICAL:
DSF Productions (Independant - own company), August 2009
- 'Andy Ladd' (lead) in fundraiser performance for Whitby Church of the A.R. Gurney peice "Love Letters"
- This two character peice is a completely different approach to stage, where by the male and female leads must envelope and keep the audience engulfed in a story that is read, letter by letter, between to two. No significant set, no exits and entrances, this peice is entirely in a sitting position at two desks, with neither actor ever looking at the other, reliving their letter as they read it aloud. An amazing love story.
