Other Information

Relevant Skills

I consider myself to be an actor who is an excellent communicator. I learn quickly and take direction well.If I don't possess a required skill then I will make every attempt to learn it. I have stage presence and can interact with an audience, I am engaging and able to put people at ease.I can sight read can speak in several regional dialects.I drive, can swim and am not phased by the unexpected I can work just as easily on solo projects as those in larger groups/ensembles

Interests & Hobbies

People watching, reading, theatre...both as a performer and patron, film,music from classical to soul, swing to country....pretty much anything with a half decent tune....I am that person who if a word or a sentence triggers a memory of one..I will burst into that song!!

Miscellaneous Information

I am a happily married, mother of 3 and grandmother of 5...at 55 years young I consider myself to be both mature yet very much in touch with the younger generation. I have many favourite mantras but the one I use all the time hen directing peope is....''there are no small roles only small actors''....by which I mean any piece is only ever as good as it's weakest link ...when acting the actors should be geneous and giving of their selves to ensure the best result possible.
