What I do... (Actor, director, designer, teacher etc?)

hi there i am a producer, writer director singing teacher singer songwriter and actress who has now started to run a new theatre company where actresesses of all ages can get great parts and tour as a profit share

My Quick CV

i have run theatre for years and i have cds of songs i have written i am in the process of finishing my musical and i would like it to tour. I have tought kids in workshops and i am developing a song about peace all over the world .

The first thing that inspired me in theatre...

I can be me, i can be young or old but best of all I can be free and creative. One part I played was of a 15 year old kid it was so freeing and fun espeically as i grew up in a war zone and couldnt really be a kid. i makes me alive and grateful for my life and body

My favourite theatre something is...

Elivira in Blithe Spirit my favourite role of all time

The thing that annoys me about our industry...

there are no theatres to perform in and as producer who is not rich i cannot get to pertorm at a real theatre so i have to choose villiage halls and community centres i also cannot stand the attitude of those that rent out the theatres they make you feel guilty and useless because you cant afford their ridiculous fees they have no talent at all and they are holding us down and stoppping us from acheiving our dreams of getting a good audience and some publicity throught the theatre i could not believe the cost they wanted for 1 show at a theatre near me 1000 pounds a day and that doesnt include getting into the program etc.... extra and more.... why doesnt the govt give us theatres and money to run them i could do that i would love to and then i could earn real money from what I love.
