About
I have worked as a professional Actor/practitioner for over twenty-five years with numerous commercial theatres, arts organisations and television companies including the Royal Opera House, Barbican, Northampton Playhouse, BBC, Granada, Tiger Aspect and London Weekend Television. I have also worked as a company member in various community arts base practice/ projects, these include Nottingham Playhouse, Tranter Theatre and Contact theatre in Manchester, London Bubble, Rent-a-Role in Plymouth and Committed Artists theatre company, New York. As a founder member of Prussia Lane production company, a co-operative of performers, writers, filmmakers, designers, and dancers I am critically engaged in the exploration of interdisciplinary approaches in the creation and realization of performance projects. I was an integral researcher/collaborator on a three-year comparative study of popular theatre in London and Berlin, 1890-1939 a joint research project between Goldsmiths, University of London, and the Freie Universitat Berlin. I am committed to creative learning and equality of opportunity and as a member of British Actors Equity was a member of Equity's equalities committee, elected by my fellow actors.
