Actor Writer Singer Dancer Musician

I am a versitile, energetic performer and creative looking for projects to sink my teeth into. As an actor, I have experience in a host of styles and genres including absurdism, film and TV , musical theatre, Shakespeare, Meisner and physical theatre. I am a published writer and reviewer and am currently writing and developing an avant garde solo show. I am a great lover of both flamboyant, extravagant theatre and intimate, minimalistic work, which makes me eager to work with a wide range of creatives.
