Profile

What I do... (Actor, director, designer, teacher etc?): I graduated this year from QMU's Drama & Theatre Arts Course, specialising in Directing. Since then I have been lucky enough to find work and am currently Associate Director for the new Polish/Scottish Theatre Company GAPPAD. I am also employed part-time at Cumbernauld Theatre as the Drama Projects Officer, where I run the youth theatre and occasionally assist the Artistic Director Ed Robson on different projects.

Although my focus has been on developing as a Director I am looking to return to performance and am seeking professional training in this area now also.

My Quick CV: Directed;

RE-ID (Company; Gappad. Co -Director; Agnieszka Bresler)
Slave Island (written by Marivaux, QMu Student production)
Discovering Faerie (Devised 45 minute performance of a work in Progress, as part
of my dissertation)
Acceptance (Solo Show written and performed by Lisa Nicoll)

Assistant Directed;

[Professional Theatre]
Khaki (Company; Zendeh. Dir; Nazli Tabatabai-Khatambakhsh)
Cinderella (Cumbernauld Theatre. Dir; Ed Robson)

[QMU productions]
Three Birds Alighting on a Field (Dir; John Ramage)
Sexual Perversity in Chicago (Dir; Nazli Tabatabai-Khatambakhsh)

Performance;

Sal Afterlives (podcast series) written and directed by Alan H McDonald.

The first thing that inspired me in theatre...: Cumbernauld Theatre, the building and atmosphere. I attended the youth theatre from the age of 12 and was encouraged and supported from the day I started.

My favourite theatre something is...: Risk Takers

The thing that annoys me about our industry...: Is being afraid to take risks and the lack of honesty after a production from peers in our industry. If a production doesn't work it is your duty to help improve our industry with your tactful constructive criticism!!

Gappad's Debut Performance!

Gappad's debut performance, RE-ID, enjoyed a successful premiere at the Tron in Glasgow.

A sell out show with a waiting list as long as your arm! What more could you ask for. With some good reviews, and fired debates in the bar afterwards we are more than excited about taking this edgy production to the Fringe! If you missed us at the Tron, this is your chance!

If you haven't read them, yet, there's a great series of Graphic Novels by Bill Willingham called Fables. In these, Prince Charming is a cad who married (and subsequently divorced) Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella. Pinnochio's stuck forever as an eight-year-old, etc. Very dark, but funny and engaging as well.

Would love to talk more!
