About me

I am an actor, improviser, facilitator and film-maker. I currently reside in Cardiff and plan to for a fair bit longer. I have done a bit of T.i.E in Llancaich Fawr; a short production called The Tuberville Experience. It seemed to entertain them. A few films over the University period, as well. Predated to that, Grease (Eugene), Midsummer Night’s Dream (Bottom/Flute – 2 casts), Oh What A Lovely War (Various), amongst other productions.

As an improviser I have done, Dragon’s Eye an hour production of ‘the poetics of movement and sound’ with me on the stage. I have done a few street skits, if you will, but they were just out of interest for the feeling. I have done three street jams, two in Cardiff and one in London. The first two were based on the same layout. Although, no where near the same when it came to it. The last one was a new structure and just as fun. Not too long ago, Playtime with Us, which is a short-form improv show with two players. Currently, I have an improv theatre company called Ludus Ludius, www.ludusludius.co.uk, that has a sub-group, the student group, Glamorgan Improvisation Troupe. You can visit that website too at www.myspace.com/glamorganimprotroupe/. These are where my main amount of workshops I run happens at the moment.

In saying that I was partnered up with a fantastic facilitator for the opportunity of working together. We are both into improvisation and have our improv groups; her lot is called Slow Genius. We both have experience in the field of Applied Improv, an upcoming term really. So, something to look out for. However, we now are going different directions.

Predominantly when speaking of films, I have a tendency to get in front of the camera, and let other people step behind it, but I have gotten behind them a fair few times, based on my degree being on Media and Performance, I had to. However, we can have great enjoyment and fun in filming productions, and sometimes it may involve chocolate too. I doubt a holiday unless the budget is huge.
