Ballet. LAMDA. Actor. BLOK.
I was obsessed with ballet as a kid. At the age of eleven I would find websites of different ballet schools, order the prospectuses online and study them religiously. I auditioned for ballet school and didn’t get in.
I turned my attention to acting, joined the National Youth Theatre and a wonderful ten years of life followed. I trained in theatre and acting at LAMDA where I met my best friends and learnt about who I am. Although I loved acting, I realised at drama school that acting and being an actor are two very different things, and I knew in my gut that being an actor wasn’t going to make me happy long term.
Acting gave me some amazing experiences and taught me so many ways to move my body. Stripping movement right down I trained in ‘pure movement’, physical theatre, clowning and stage fight. This training along with my earlier days in dance, taught me skills and techniques that I still incorporate today in both my personal and professional practices.
