Interests

Using my skills as a theatre director and producer to reconnect disaffected young people with education.

My personal interests are closely linked to my professional work, and include film dance, food and travel.

Useful Information

I have many connections in the professional theatre world and have, on several occasions, invited practitioners down to engage with Kent students, and have also taken young people from Kent to London to give them a broader experience of Performing Arts.

Due to the extraordinary talent that exists within the young people of Kent, several of the students I have worked with from disadvantaged and challenging backgrounds, are now taking their talent, and by association their county of birth, onto a wider stage.  One at the Guildhall School of Music, studying to be an opera singer, one currently appearing in Disney’s The Lion King in the West End, and one who is just finishing a two year stint with the Blue Man Group in New York and Las Vegas.
