About me
Hardworking and professional supporting artiste with more than 5 years experience in film and TV productions.I have some acting and voiceover experience, and enjoy an ongoing working relationship with the director Peter Strickland, playing the role of Miss Brimblecombe in his most recent feature 'In Fabric' (Rook Films, 2019), as well as having produced soundtrack work for his film and radio productions.
My experience as a film and TV extra has come either side of my gender transition and I feel lucky that I've continued to find strong roles, especially given the ongoing underrepresentation of trans and non-binary identities in TV and cinema.
In addition to extra work, I am a musician and visual artist, producing and performing experimental electronic music as Xylitol. My work has soundtracked film productions by Peter Strickland and Piaoyu Xie.
In addition to film and TV work, I am a capable voiceover artist, presenting a weekly show on London's arts radio station Resonance FM between 2001 and 2008.
I am available for film, TV, promotional and corporate work in London and the South East.
Acting experience:
Several years experience as a walk on in a variety of film and TV productions from small independent productions to big budget mainstream movies.
My most recent role was playing Miss Brimblecombe in Peter Strickland's 'in Fabric' (Rook Films, 2019)
Television experience:
Extra and walk on in The Tunnel (Sky), A Very English Scandal (BBC), Succession (HBO), NBX Project (ITV, in production), The Crown (Netflix), Harlots (HULU), Endeavour (ITV) and other productions.
Also several years experience in technical Broadcast Operations work for Red Bee Media and Technicolor - ingest, media management, QC, MCR, playout.
Specific skills:
I have additional skills in voiceover work having presented on radio between 2001 and 2008 for Resonance FM, an independent artist run radio station in London.
My interests:
Artist, actor and media worker with more than ten years' professional experience in broadcast operations and radio production. Driven by intellectual curiosity and committed to DIY media as a tool for community empowerment and a space for artistic intervention, I have led community workshops in radio and sound art production, drawing on my artistic practice and acting skills.
I am currently pursuing an AHRC funded research degree at Goldsmiths College, London, in the field of art, network aesthetics and philosophy.
