About me
Recently played multiple roles in ‘Norman Balon - It's All True' at The Shaftesbury Theatre, London West End.RECENT FILMING FEEDBACK FROM PHOEBE BROOKS, DIRECTOR NOWADAYS UK:
“It was a real pleasure to work with you and I’m so grateful for the fierce commitment you brought to the role. You gave a wonderfully natural performance that really did justice to the gravity of the case study we were dramatising and I think it will make the film come alive and give it a powerful sense of weight and emotion. I was so impressed by your ability to give each take your all and maintain that emotional intensity for the whole shoot”.
Best actress nomination for role in multi award winning short ‘When The Clapping Stops’ .
I have had theatre audiences at live solo comedy shows rolling with laughter and in tears with my serious work. I can portray trauma to comedy.
TRAINING: I had screen acting training with The Zoe Nathenson School of Acting Oct 20 - June 21. With regards to theatre I have many years of experience to draw from but also had training with Gailie Pollock of Contexture Theatre in Stanislavsky, Meisner and Brecht as well as a course at The Actors Centre in 2016. I regularly attend workshops to keep my skills fresh.
GENERAL: Whilst I have a passion for making people laugh I am a particularly empathetic and compassionate person which helps me to make an emotional impact and take the audience on a journey. I am keen to pursue both theatre and filming projects.
My history includes mammoth solo roles such as Shirley Valentine and solo comedy sketch shows as well as performing with 3MMs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Canal Cafe, London.
From working in the corporate environment I have experience of delivering presentations and training days and I am a CIPD qualified.
