-During a devised piece of theatre acting as a young Queen Elizabeth.

On this page it will show all of the recent productions within the last 2 years. These are a mix of ones that have been scripted for me and others that I have made with a group and individual work. Here I have taken part in acting, singing and dance shows as well as doing some film giving me more experience in a range of fields and making me more versatile and skilled in these areas. As well as having my full CV and showreel on here.

Christmas Shows

Christmas Cracker

This show was a collaboration with both performing arts and music. In this piece I created and learnt a physical theatre performance of the grinch, a full- on dance number to 'Christmas Lights' as well as doing the opening and closing numbers. The main part I did was compering with another person Hannah which we wrote ourselves and had multiple places where we came on and said jokes and were introducing the next acts.

Once Upon A Christmas

In my first Christmas show that I did in my first year at college I was a part of the opening and closing numbers, a musical theatre performance of 'Revolting children' and 'be our guest'. A physical theatre performance of 'the little match girl' and a scene from 'Wind In the Willows' and a dance to 'The Royal Doughton Music Hall'.

Dance And Musical Shows

Anything Goes

To end my second year at college we did the musical 'Anything Goes'. Within this musical I played a photographer as well as some extra characters who were passengers aboard this ship to build this piece up. In this piece I acted, sang and did multiple types of dance - one being tap dancing.

A Midsummer Nights Dream

Within this show 'a midsummer nights dream' was a full dance show where the only straight acting parts were the mechanicals which is who I played. I played Robin Starveling who plays Moonshine in the play that they are creating. I also did a bit of dancing where I was one of the fairies who helped to revel Titania.

Collaborative Project

This show was a collaboration my year at college created. We had to come up with the idea of what to do and then go off and create the whole thing. Within this I did a big dance number to 'Cool' from westside story more acting ones to 'Mumma I'm a big girl now' and some more singing based to 'one night only'. I was also the props manager and rehearsal director for this show which gave me more roles to uphold getting me more experience in these areas. As well as helping to create this show where we did lots of acts which were mostly musical theatre I was a main part in these three sections:

Monologue

This was during act 1 where we were auditioning for a show to be in (which is the second half) and in this I chose to do a monologue rather than a song or dance. I created this monologue to fit the character I created for the show, Paige.

One Night In Bangkok

In this piece I created half of the movements needed along with Hannah who I did this with as a duet and then we had others coming in for the choruses. So in this piece I sang, danced and acted.

Nicest Kids In Town

For 'Nicest Kids In Town' I played 'Corny Collins' where I was the one who was singing the main parts as well as acting through this and dancing. I helped to come up with the movements for my character and all of the little movements and gestures that aren't dancing.

Outside Of College Experience

Dance workshop

I got the opportunity to be part of a dance workshop where as a year group we came up with a dance routine for children ages 6-10 to the song which we choose 'Starships'. after we had created our dance we then took it to Pilton School where the other primary schools came and we then taught them our dance. I went around and made sure that everyone was doing okay and helped anyone who was stuck as well as helping them come up with ideas for when they had to do their own individual parts.

Edie's war

In 2022 I was able to be part of a professional, up and coming play called 'Edie's war' which was directed by Susan Luciani. In this performance I played many characters including a wounded soldier writing a letter home and being accused of cowardice as well as performing a duet and playing other extra characters such as a matron, mum and blind soldier. This was performed at The Plough Theatre.

Film experience with college

The Killing Method

2023. This film was based on a murder mystery where within this I played the victims wife Evelyn. We were able to film at Tawstock court which made the whole shoot feel much more real. In this I was walking around more and had lines to learn. I also had a part where I had to go to slap someone but got stopped. With this piece I have learnt so much more about the filming.

Money

2022. In this film there were 5 characters and I played King. With this role I had a lot more responsibility and lines to learn and I had the camera directly on me at times. This all gave me opportunities to get to know more about working in front of the camera and looking at different techniques used with this form of art.

Zombie Horror

2021. This was my first performance in a film which has been completely different to working on stage. With this short film I was an extra zombie and as well as getting to be a part of this I gained much more experience with working in front of a camera and seeing how all of it works.
