I can draw and paint. Children and teenagers) I am patient with children. When I worked in casting my favourite jobs were with children and teenagers. My task would be to ensure the best communication with the actors, explaining the part they had to perform. The result was always a surprise as it was related to the creativity of each person. During my second year of the Contemporary Theatre Practise course I was involved in a Community Theatre project - working with children from a local primary school. Theatre workshops were devised with them combining what they were studying with the group’s skills. The result was a play called “Dr Cientwist and his time machine.” I designed the set and the children helped by making clocks and dials from various materials. |
