About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To start a creative renainsannce. There is a huge need for creative outlet and ways and means for people to express themselves!

ABOUT ME

After I left drama school in Sydney I went straight to London to persue my acting career and love of Shakespere. It was an amazing 5 years and I really loved it - got to play lots of wonderful roles and then met my now boyfriend Mike. He is a designer and artist and we set up a company called Elsewhere in which we put on events and theatre productions.
Now we are travelling back to Australia via Europe and hopefully the states as well.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short play hard.
"I am a leaf that blows with each new wind"
To inspire others through performance - awaken them to live wholly: to connect with them and strike a chord.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in Egypt.
Becoming an aunty and seeing my niece for the first time.
The launch night of our company Elsewhere in which we combined art, performance, design, interative audience participation and music - it rocked!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have learnt a lot from my sister who is a spiritual healer and have a skill for picking up on peoples energy and where they are at. Having done Landmark education I have also developed the ability to help others through crisis and talk things through to achieve a clearing. My boyfriend has also done this study and is excellent at helping people create breakthroughs.
Our love of the arts and creativity mean that we are constantly talking about new ideas for shows or events that will be inspiring for others and we would love to talk to others about this as well.
