I work freelance in the performing arts, but it's a bit of a portfolio career. I would say I'm a theatre practitioner, which takes on choreography, directing, writing, and performing. It also involves teaching and facilitating dance for all ages and abilities.
I did dance-award training at school and was always involved in shows and writing plays. I went to the University of Edinburgh to do a Medical Science Degree, but I was halfway through it when I realised that I wanted to pursue a career in the performing arts.
I started from scratch. I didn't go to drama school, so I had to do it the unconventional way - the hard way. Everything took a while. After a time, people don’t really care where you train, they’re more interested in the quality of the work you make.
