ABOUT ME

I used to make films and Videos ( small scale Arthouse), and ran a theatre company here in the uk. Directing and acting. Now I am freelance close up magician, and script writer (audio, Havn't sold any yet but I keep writing) .I am outgoing, enjoy meeting people and good stimulating conversations, finding out about people and sharing time and experiences. Love new things, new music, new and old art. New places, Old places, quiet calm, and bustle of cities.
Most important things for me are the people in the places I am. the interaction , the exchange, the interests.

I adore stimulating arts, stimulating and interesting vibrant people.

I have lectureed at University college of arts,Norwich, in cultural studies and film language, and city college Norwich in community education, and outreach work, working on animation and video projects. and part time web desiging, and writing.

I love travelling however finance puts a stop to that often , I am currently travelling in Europe and Asia, whilst trying to write a radio comedy drama which I intend to record in late July. I am also a magician.. ( entertaining type) see more on my website as I dont want to duplicate here

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are many more amazing things others have done and I am in the shadows of them...I have seen beautiful stimulating things and shared time with people who are both scintilating and boring, all have qualities.... the auraura borealais But these are things you experience, not do.. I have to say I have done little amazing. but experienced a lot.
Saw 3 and a half millionn bats emerge from a cave in Battambang Cambodia, that was an amaizing experience.
Of places I can say the andaman and Nicobar Islands ((indian) are the most amaizing stunningly tranquil places i have been and experienced.
