About me
I am training towards becoming a prop maker and designerI have a passion for performance and the theatre.
I gained a lot of experience performing as a dancer. Then from my first term at RADA I gained crucial knowledge on the running of back stage and the technical department. I soon realised that design and 3D making is where I want to focus my energies. I am now pushing forwards in this direction.
I have a good eye and am extremely practical. I also have a good understanding of 3D and my knowledge for materials and how to use them is always expanding.
So far I have done polycarving, sculpture, casting using plaster, jesmonite, silicone and latex.
Also tried fibreglass. Basic photoshop and learnt how to draw up technical drawings to work from.
I have worked on various productions including 'Bright and bold design' RADA.
'In Arabia We'd all be Kings' RADA.
'After miss Julie' RADA.
'Antigone in New York' Fringe, London.
I have experience in alterations, designing, mask making, corsetry, period costumes, dressing and supervision.
Extremely organised hard working and reliable.
I originally trained in ballet and contemporary with a BAhons in Dance Theatre from Laban. But it was from breakdance where I made my mark. Sponsored by Nike for 3 years and featured dancer for adverts such as for Nike, Sony, Argos, mobile phone networks in Africa and Canada. Touring Europe in theatre projects and working for Nickelodeon TV as a 'Skills Crew' dance specialist and presenter for the show 'Get Your Skills On.'
