About me
I first came to the stage through analysis, doing a Masters in English Literature and carefully picking classes that would satisfy my interest in theatre. This resulted in my thesis, in which I studied the physical effects incest produced in Jacobean tragedies.Of course, anyone will tell you that picking a play apart and staging one are two very different things, and indeed they are. I have theatre experience too, and my latest engagement was ASM on the production of "Raising Martha". Previously, I have worked on multiple productions in Geneva and last year successfully completed LAMDA's Stage Management summer course. I enjoy tackling the challenges that theatre present - and the collaboration involved in overcoming them.
For seven years I have been both on and off stage. Due to this, I have an excellent awareness of the theatre world, and thoroughly enjoy making it a positive experience for theatre-goers and coworkers alike. These experiences have brought me both a sense of accomplishment and joy, and I am looking to expand my knowledge, as there is always some new challenge backstage!
Additional skills:
For a year and a half I worked on creating three new episodes of the classic television series “Thunderbirds” for the 50th anniversary of the show that premiered at the BFI last year. During this time I had multiple responsibilities including general puppet maintenance, stringing and overseeing the costumes, wigs, and props.
This all required an eye for detail and a capacity to adapt as, once on screen, even the smallest mistake can be enormous. I was also responsible for ensuring that all puppet elements were ready for our tight filming schedule.
