Personal information

about you

I have been an actor in the UK and also a traveller for many years. My main area is theatre and especially approaches to holistic communication in living theatre. This has led me to explore many different forms of traditional performance cultures over the years - Tibet, India, the Middle East and North Africa. At a time when I realised that I was burning myself out in my approach to acting, I was introduced to the works of Moshe Feldenkrais and began to find a more intelligent approach to performance. Now, Feldenkrais has become a major guide and inspiration in my life and work.

For the last seven years, I have been living in Egypt, exploring somatic-based approaches to performance and linking this with the improvising work of traditional epic storytellers whose work comes out of a highly refined body awareness. Recently I was commissioned to return to my native Scotland and create and perform a solo Stand-up Theatre show which was based on my research in Egypt. The 80min piece was improvised and at its heart were many of the key aspects I had discovered through my exploration of FK's work.
