About me
Always working towards satiation of my performing life as an actor, voice-artist, stunt-performer and musician! Good-humoured, imaginative, dynamised, optimistic, non-smoking, non-alcohol. Up for a challenge, cogitation. Open-minded. Fine alone or in a team. Democratic. Can show initiative, facility for resource and improvisation. I am a keen reader: quantum physics, philosophy, parapsychology, hermetics, medieval and Templar history. I've avid sports interests: football, running, isometrics, meditation. I compose for and sing in a band called "Leafblade", regularly touring Europe, fusing folk, ambient and medieval music and the music of the Troubadours.I write poetry, scripts, music, wordgames. I delight in time in the Green: birdsong, silence, sunsets, far islands, mountains, waterfalls, forests, Zen, Stone Circles, Places of Resonance. I find peace in making my own candles, listening to polyphonic music of the Renaissance and Middle Ages, utterly content when composing and writing.License & Passport
