About Me

I am a 17 year old A Level student who is enthusiastic about acting for stage and screen. I have been involved in many drama academies including Helen O\\\'Grady and Sheffield Academy of Performing Arts where I have learnt a variety of skills including essential acting techniques such as improvisation as well as general skills like communication and working as part of a team. I have also attended regular dance classes since I was 10 and have gained IDTA qualifications in street dance where I passed with honours. Most recently I have been part of the Sheffield Theatres Summer School at the Crucible theatre which was a 2 week experience where I learnt a variety of drama skills such as devising, physical theatre, movement and choreography as well as performing in an original written play by professionals on the Crucible stage to the public. I have also been part of some Shakespeare productions including Twelfth Night as well as musicals including Singing in the Rain and Guys and Dolls. I also volunteer weekly at MENCAP where I am involved in teaching drama and dance to young people with learning disabilities which has also improved my patience and communication skills as well as my confidence.
