PERFORMANCE

I have just finished performing as Jennifer in 'I Love You Numb' with Cat In A Cup Theatre Company. For info and reviews visit Arches Live or Cat In A Cup's web page both of which you can find online or in my links.

OTHER PROJECTS

I have just begun a postgrad student on the MA - Screenwriting course at Edinburgh's new Screen Academy, run by Napier University and Edinburgh College of Art.

I am a graduate of the (BA) Contemporary Theatre Practice Course at the RSAMD in Glasgow. I spent four years studying at the Academy including one year studying the Scottish Harp on the (BA) Scottish Music Course. I am an accomplished singer and player of both the Harp and Low Whistle. I try to incorporate my musical skills in my theatre projects wherever I can. I am currently further developing "My Numb Thumb" a play which came about as a result of a bursary from THE SCOTTISH ARTS COUNCIL and also reworking the script for 'Spillage' (****Scotsman) a play I produced for the Edinburgh Fringe 02. I hope to bring both pieces of writing to the stage around Spring/Summer 2006.

Over the last two years I have been producing Forum Theatre for a variety of awareness raising and training seminars.
I have recently renamed my Theatre Company TrickTales. (Formally RiteStyle)

I also work freelance as a community arts practitioner and I work in schools as a health and relationships worker in and around Edinburgh.
