About me
I am an ASM and DSM based both in Manchester and Cardiff.I have a wide range of skills and experience and I work well within a team where I am able to utilise my excellent communication skills in order to liaise clearly with all members of the cast and crew. I am also highly experienced in problem solving and have excellent leadership skills, which I know I will be able to apply to technical and fast-paced shows.
I have been the Assistant Stage Manager for many productions, ranging from promenade puppetry pieces to plays with live cooking on stage. These shows have greatly improved my skills as an ASM and I am more confident in propping, budgeting and all other aspects which the job may entail. I have also been a Deputy Stage Manager for several productions which has increased my skillset and confidence to book cover and learn the tracks of other roles in the show. I have also completed a 10 week Stage Management placement with the Royal Shakespeare Company which I worked on their production of Measure for Measure. In this, I was able to learn a great deal on how to work as part of a larger company, and was able to adapt to this kind of environment.
I finished a small South Wales Panto tour as a DSM, which was a brilliant experience to learn more about the touring aspects of theatre and the challenges within working in a variety of venues. Earlier in 2020 I worked as an ASM for Shirley Valentine at the Octagon Theatre in Bolton, and was asked back as ASM for their production of The Hound of the Baskervilles this year which ran until August. More recently, I was ASM for the Buxton Opera House’s production of ‘Aladdin’ which ran over Christmas, and was then back again working at the Octagon as ASM for their production of ‘An Adventure’. During April – June I am also ASM for the Oldham Coliseum’s tour of ‘Beryl’, which will be running in Oldham, Keswick and Lancaster.
