Live performance is what gives me the drive and desire to fulfil my want to perform. Completeness embraces me when performing is consumed.
‘Bright sparks’ is where my love for performing was first highlighted. This then spurred me on to joining the acting agency ‘Scala’. I was a committed member of Scala and managed to land myself many jobs in TV work which I gained a lot of experience from. When playing ‘Angela’ in an episode of heartbeat this really opened my eyes to how fast the industry works, really pushing me to give my absolute best with anything I was asked to do.
When working with Opera North in their productions it was then I realised stage work is what most entices my creativity. I professionally worked in their touring shows, experiencing this is something that will always stay with me; allowing me to become a lot more independent and get used to working away from home. The excitement I feel from the audience pushes me to put on the best show for them that I possibly can. I find it so interesting and quite simply just beautiful how each time you perform you are challenging the audience to have their own take and a deeper understanding of each character. Which really captures the audience’s imagination. I absolutely adore this.
Getting a deeper feel and understanding for the character in which I am playing looking at the characters super objectives, when working on Stanislavski’s techniques such as - ‘The magic if’ has helped me look into characters with a deeper knowledge and understanding for the context behind every characters emotion. Portraying the character with truth..
