I am a Freelance Community Drama and Arts Practitioner based in and around Scotland.
I trained at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts achieving a BA Honours in Community Drama. An important part of Community Drama is the ability to make drama accessible to all different types of people and groups. It is about taking drama and using it for a purpose which goes beyond pure entertainment. I enjoy seeing groups that have never done drama before grow in confidence and develop an interest in the field. I have worked with a variety of different groups using drama in schools, youth theatres and community groups. I have a PVG certificate and I am willing to travel. I have a full driving license and access to my own car.
I have a lot of understanding, experience and transferable skills and consider myself hard working, conscientious, and trustworthy. I am willing to learn and have excellent initiative and leadership skills. I enjoy working collaboratively and creatively with other people. I can lead, support, inspire and provide a positive role model. I can bring a professional, ambitious and enthusiastic approach. Please have a look around my website and if any of it interests you please get in touch.
