Performance Training
I trained with Brassneck Theatre Company and benefitted greatly from their expertise, even having the opportunity to script read and perform a duologue with Olivier Award Winner, Anthony Boyle.
I trained with Bruiser Theatre Company and most recently acted as an intern as I was cast to act in their video workshop recordings that will be played in schools around Northern Ireland and for various Bruiser Theatre promotion videos.
I have participated in various plays including ‘Joyriders’ by Apollo Arts that ran in Cultúrlann Mc Adam Ó Fiaich and then in the Grand Opera House in 2018.
I have my grade 8 musical theatre exam and my grade 8 pop vocals exam.
I recently did a photoshoot for the photo website of Vogue Italia, shot by Matthew McMaster, and my photo was selected and highly credited by the editors of Vogue Italia and Condé Nast who gave my image a vogue stamp.
I have been cast as a featured extra in West Life’s music video for ‘Better Man’. I have also done screen script work over zoom calls with Geraldine Hughs.
I have also attended various cinemagic screen events and even got the chance to listen to Saoirse Ronan give a masterclass on her specific screen choices in her performances.
This year I was also selected to partake in the Tinderbox physicality, body and mind workshops however they were unfortunately cancelled because of the pandemic and will resume next summer.
