For a long time, I have been hugely inspired by acting, I grew up watching a plethora of movies on VHS before the age of CDs and digital streaming, this left a real mark on young me and in theory was the first step in discovering my passion for performing arts. Countless movies and shows piqued my interest and creativity as a child, I had the entire Star Wars original and prequel trilogies on VHS and would watch them every day after school, it was the beginning of my fascination with performance because I was so mesmerised by a completely different reality. Things not possible in the real world were on a TV in my front room, that’s always been my absolute favourite thing about performance; becoming someone or something that doesn’t exist and transporting somewhere that too doesn’t exist as that character, things out of reach made real to entertain and inspire.
