About me
Hi, my name is Catherine and I am friendly, hard working and passionate about what I do. I describe myself as an 'organic' Director. I will have a plan and vision for a production, however, I develop ideas as the production develops and I feel it will unravel through organisation but mainly through the creative team, imagination and time. I prefer to work 'in the moment' as ideas spark from all aspects of the production as it goes through its journey. I have produced and directed a play under my production company 'C&C Productions' which I formed in December 2013. I have experience as an ASM, DSM and stage manager, as well as designing and operating sound and lighting. I am always willing to help out in any aspects of the production needed and love to learn from new people and projects. I will always work professionally, no matter what the scale or status of a production but always with an added sense of humour!Additional skills:
I am also an actress which I feel has helped me when working as a director or as another member of the crew as I can empathise with both cast and crew to help create a more fluent, understanding and cooperative process. Also, I have knowledge and experience with the technical side of theatre. This really helps me as a Director, especially during the 'tech run', as I know what is possible to achieve and what may be more of a challenge as well as using the right technical terminology. This also creates a quicker technical process with an understanding shared throughout.
I have worked with a range of ages from 10 to 55. I also lead a singing session for a group of babies and toddlers so have experience of being in charge of a group of very young children.
I have Directed plays, both adaptations of novels, modern plays and new writing. I have also directed and perfomed in a devised piece of theatre in a Brechtian style. I have also performed a devised physical theatre piece which was a collaborative piece so I had an equal role in devising it.

Additional information:
I recently went on a 'West End Directing' course in London for a week which I learnt valuable skills from that I have been able to use in further projects.
I have directed a couple of short films and two independent feature length films which can be found on IMDb. I was also one of the Composers for both films.
