About me
I am a deeply creative individual with a strong intellect and a powerful range of emotions at my disposal. As a performer I am not afraid to be vulnerable or to reveal the ugly sides of myself. I am a committed artist and I value integrity highly. I would ideaaly like to make work which enlightens and moves an audience. I believe in the power of the live experience but I am also passionate about Visuals. Excellent cinematography in film and strong creative lighting in performance inspires me and I would like to be involved in epic, ambitious projects which have something to say about the human condition. Humans never cease to intrigue me and I am a very empathetic person capable of identyfying with a broad range of personal experience. I have travelled widely and consider myself to be worldly wise. I perform because I value the arts and the contribution they make to society. I am also a trained artist.Skills
