-
Mainly aerial dace and contemporary.
-
I have been acting and performing professionally for many years, I am a highly motivated and fun loving individual, I enjoy challenging myself and learning new skills. As well as being a actor I am also an aerialist which gives me great strength and flexibility. I have a passion for creating lively comedic characters through physicality and playfulness. I am very confident performer with good improvisational skills and can think on my feet. I have a theatre company based in Nottingham called 'The Gramophones' we make playful, devised work, which encourages audiences to rekindle childhood notions of play and exploring the world. I also have a circus events company called 'Nott Circus', we put on aerial cabaret style shows and teach aerial to young people and adults.
