Skills and Other Experience
teaching drama at Rising Stars children’s drama group
I co-ran Rising Stars, a children's drama group for over 5 years since the age of 16. During this time I helped the children to develop their acting skills and worked with them on a number of productions. I often assisted with casting, directing and costuming the children for the annual pantomime at The Plowright Theatre.
Fully qualified Girlguiding main leader
I ran my own Brownie group for 5 years. This involved being responsible for up to 25 girls aged 7 to 10 not only at our weekly meetings, but also on day trips and residentials. I often performed risk assessments and other admin and I have completed various training as part of my leadership qualification including level 3 safe space training, first response training.
Comedy skills
I am very passionate about comedy and I naturally have very good comedic timing. My comedy idol is Victoria Wood and I have won awards at the Scunthorpe Musical Festival with her pieces more than once. I love finding the comedy in a script and working hard to make it the best it can be. I am unique in that I have twice played the main comedy character in pantomimes (Idle Jack and Donald Goose). This is a part that is almost always played by men so I am very grateful that I have been given the opportunity to portray these silly characters.
Pantomime skills
I have lots of pantomime experience having been in pantos every year since the age of 11 and playing main roles yearly since 16. As previously mentioned I have played the main comedy character twice, as well as Fairy Fred in Sleeping Beauty who was also a strong comedy lead. All of these parts involved lots of audience interaction so I am very experienced in and comfortable ad-libbing/improvising. Whist playing these parts I was also able to lead many classic pantomime routines such as the shoutout sheet, ghost routine, slop scene, sweet routine and song sheet
movement
I am a strong mover and am able to pick up choreography well. I am skilled at majorettes/baton twirling having attended lessons from the age of 2 until 13 and preforming in many shows and demonstrations. I am also a black belt at taekwondo, skilled at archery and experienced in staff fighting for stage.
