How did you find out about Face Front Inclusive Theatre?

I found out through Blue Sky Actors. Originally, I was part of access all areas then through a mutual friend I found out about Blue Sky and it went from there.

How has being a Supported Artist helped you develop?

Being a supported artist has given me a platform into professional acting and given me experience to see what the future may hold as an actor. Acting in It’s My Move gave me experience of what it’s like to be on tour and experience of the professional world in a safe supported environment.

And what are doing now?

I have recently finished the Access All areas diploma course at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. But currently I am working on two shows in development with the Blue Sky Actors exploring the theme of opposites.

What would you like to do in the future?

In the future I would like to become a freelance actor and to maybe get an agent to get various jobs. I would really love to be in a show at the national theatre or work in film with different kind of characters and perhaps do some voice over work.

What would you tell people about joining Blue Sky Actors?

Blue Sky Actors is a fun, lively, entertaining group. It is led by a very welcoming team and perfect for anyone interested in creating theatre. It is also a great place to develop friendships and build good social networks.
