About me
I’ve been working as a Company/ CSM/Stage Manager for over 30 years in a wide variety of Theatres both within the U.K. and on International and European tours. I’m a British passport holder with French Residency so can live and work in both the U.K. and Europe. I’m friendly and approachable but am good at leading a team and providing structure and discipline when required. I’m quick thinking and good at trouble shooting and finding solutions for the situations that inevitably arise in live theatre. I believe that every person has the right to be treated with respect within the workplace and that however a person choses to identify themselves should have no bearing on their inclusivity within the community. Diversity and equality are equally important in providing a rich and vibrant Theatrical diaspora and should be supported and celebrated.I love the challenges of live performance and the excitement of creating a Theatrical event which brings pleasure and a suspension of reality into people’s lives and minds. I’m a good prop maker and a great prop finder. I’m organised and efficient, work well under pressure and usually with a smile on my face. A sense of humour is important in encouraging morale and diffusing potentially difficult situations. I work hard and have very high standards but I would never ask someone to do something I was not prepared to do myself. I love to work but appreciate the importance of having a good work/ life balance. I do this by choosing what I work on and being totally committed to it but then retiring to my house in France to recharge my batteries and enjoy a slower pace of life.
