About me

I am interested in everything to do with acting and the insides show business. I've always been acting since I was a little boy in shows and street parades and have always been my dream to be on stage.
I came to London because of this dream and now I'm finishing my graduation in the university of West London where I am taking BA (Hons) Acting & Theatre Making, thanks to which I'm developing skills like writing, directing and acting. I'm a very professional individual and also perfectionist, free- spirit, crazy and extrovert. I like to laugh, make laugh and help everyone .
Acting experience:
I have act in 5 plays in Portugal:
"3 ciders of love", "The imaginary invalid", "Blood Wedding", "A Christmas story", " Seagull" - in all these projects-plays, I was an actor, an active creative artist in terms of pace and/or rhythm of the plays, costumes and stage vision designer, responsable to check with my colleagues if there are needs, queries, and concerns to be answered, solved and helped.
In UK, I have performed as an actor in 2 showcases in LCM-UWL, in which I played 8 different scenes written by colleges students of my course and me. I have written and directed four scenes that were part of the showcases of level 4 and level 5 in Acting & Theatre Making course.
Additional skills:
I know how to:
- Dance/ choreographe
- Ballroom Dancing
- Sing
- Play piano, guitar and Cuica (Monkey Drum)
- Songwriting
- Creative writing
- Krav Maga
Additional information:
I grow up in a family of musicians so I also have music in my veins. I've been dacing since I was 7 years old, and at the age of 9 years old I became professional dancer and I attended tournaments every weekend. Because my older brother was following his dream of becoming a professional performer in ballet and contemporary I took a few workshops in his school and now I'm developing those skills in my course , I became a choreographer because of my amusement for social expressionism using the phisical body as a tool to connect with people. I want to be an actor because I believe that acting is one of the greatest arts (if not the greatest) to express feelings that will inspire the audience - society to become better and more united...my goal with arts is to make a world a better place
