I'm a British-born creative writer based in Madrid, Spain. I like travelling,
and speak fluent Spanish and good Russian and French.
My twin passions are
writing and performance Ð I need to balance the solitude of writing with the
interactivity and colour of performance Ð and those are the two main skills
I've also used in my money-earning career as a journalist/ editor/team
leader.
A lifelong love of dance meant that when I first realised I wanted
to get my poetry off the page and onto the stage, I naturally turned to
dance as a way
of 'illustrating' it. It was great making the text more fluid, and the
dancers more text-inspired - Poemotion was born!
I myself enjoy performing,
and a
lot of my poetry is definitely written to be performed, but my favourite
writing-to-be-read format is the short story. Maybe it would be the novel
if I had more timeÉ
Working in management, problem-solving and business development in the day-job
has honed my natural enjoyment of teamwork, and on the creative side, I love
getting together with like-minded artists to spark off each other's energies
and create the best possible result.
As well as writing and performance, I'm
also creative when it comes to seeing positive ways out of dark corners and pushing
projects through. That might mean 'pushy' to some, but I hate time-wasting and
like to get things achieved.
If you'd like to get in touch to discuss collaborations,
comment on my work
or tell me about yours, please do - I'd be happy to hear from you. Who knows
what it may lead to?
