Education

About me

My passion has been Theatre and the Arts since I can remember. Weather arts management or performing, I have always remained true to my hearts ambition. Since moving to London in 2009 my jobs have been varied, however in 2012 with the Olympics and Paralympics coming to London, I saw my window to ditch my management head and get back to the stage, where I feel most at home. I have been blessed to perform with some great companies in many different countries, but now I am very much ready to expand my portfolio and stay very much on the stage instead of back of house.

Additional Information

I am a disabled theatre performer, having suffered an brain aneurysm at 18. This has left me with some left sided weakness both in my leg and arm.

Additional Skills

I have trained as an aerialist following employment for the Paralympic Opening Ceremony. This training continued at Circus Space East London, to my level 2 Static Trapeze. Unfortunately my current employment meant I had to put my training on hold for a short while. I also have some singing training and used to be the lead soloist in my choir as well as experience in Soul, R&B and popular music from various gigs and events throughout my training.

For several months I trained with Stop Gap Dance Company and completed a 3 day course with them in Farnham, exploring accessible workshop formats. Again, my work with them has had to take a back seat until I can find work that doesn't conflict with rehearsals.
