About me
Relaxed, open and willing to earn from every day of my life. I was born in New Zealand where I lived on an old school bus for the first three years of my life. We then moved to South Africa where I definitely feel my roots are in terms of childhood. However most of my life and career has been in Scotland and I am a Highland lass at heart. I love the mountains and anywhere near water.Additional skills:
Adaptation of plays for outdoor / site specific production.
Improvisation
Youth theatre practitice.
CPD consultancy.
Movement
Sight reading
Additional information:
Carrie teaches the LAMDA sylabus up to the LDA Diploma. She has 100% success rate with her students with 75% gaining Distinction of Honours. She also teaches the CAPE Examination sylabus specific to Scotland.
Carrie is currently Artsitic Dorector for shoestring company Theatre Found based in Pollokshields in Glasgow. This company is aiming to produce excellent theatre in accessable spaces (outwith traditional theatre spaces) in order to break down the percoeved and at times real barriers new audiences often experience when accessing theatre.
Carrie is very experience in youth theatre- directing and devising theatre for and with young people. She has been artist in residence with pre fives in Glasgow nurseries and has taught many CPD Courses in using drama in the school and care home enviroment.
Carrie has worked with all ages and abilities and has been developing a method of script work for actors with specific and advanced learning difficulties, this is something she would like to further research and develope.
More recently her interests have been in East European theatre in which she focused her degree at Glasgow University . Since graduating she has adapted and produced Glowacki's Antigone in New York with an excellent review in the Polish press.
