About me
I am an actor, musician, and puppeteer based in Manchester and London with a strong passion for children's theatre and family friendly arts. In 2014 I graduated from the University of Salford with a first-class BA honours in Performance: Drama and Theatre.Since graduating I have been involved in various National and International touring productions with companies such as Horse and Bamboo Puppet and Mask Theatre Company, Whalley Range All Stars, Plunge Boom, Frolicked Outdoor Puppet Theatre, Hackney Music Development Trust, Z-arts, and Altru Drama. I am also one of the Artistic Directors of Scallywags Theatre Company with whom I create imaginative and inspirational performances/workshops for young people of all ages/abilities and their families.
I am a passionate individual who loves to take on tough challenges and learn new skills. Working with others really excites me and has helped me to become a confident deviser whether I'm working as an actor, musician, puppeteer, or combining all of these disciplines together.
Additional skills:
Actor, Deviser, Musician, Puppeteer (rod, glove, tabletop, and object puppets), Sound Designer, Composer, Sound Technician, Workshop Leader.
Additional information:
I am a highly-skilled, confident guitar player and singer who has been writing original compositions and playing in function bands for several years. I also have the equipment and knowledge to produce high quality audio recordings and arrangements for theatre as well as design sound effects for use in productions.
After interning at Horse and Bamboo Puppet and Mask Theatre for 6 months throughout 2015 and 16 I now have the necessary skills to design and build puppets and masks for use in theatrical productions.
