These Features Of Mine…

Yesterday my good friend and flatmate Max Moore  (https://www.flickr.com/photos/138404630@N05/) took some new acting head-shots for me. Along with my current change of perspective on many-a-thing brought on seemingly by my entrance into my 20's last year, it got me thinking further about why it is I speak so frequently of my mixed race, and of my …

‘DESTINED’ | New Poem + Explanation

There is a reason we are here, although it all seems arbitrary some days, we all have a purpose, we all have a dream, and we are all capable of reaching it. Like a filmic epiphany I have finally reached a point where I am, without a doubt, certain that the only career I can …

It’s Midnight and My Mind Is Awake

Okay, granted it's not midnight yet as I'm writing this, it's actually currently 7 minutes to BUT the sentiment is the same.

Lights Up – A Poem

Okay so little introduction as always: Here's a new poem I wrote today called Lights Up. I've tried to keep it broad enough so that it can be applied to more than one kind of 'performance', but it was written with theatre in mind. It basically speaks of the first performance and how it affects …

All I Know Now – Review

Firstly, before I begin what is to be a shiningly positive review of Carrie Hope Fletcher's book 'All I Know Now' I would like to clarify something. My knowledge of Carrie, her videos, her songs, her book etc my respect for her and my love for her work has nothing to do with the fact …

My Robin Williams Education…

Last week marked a year since the actor, comedian and all round wonder Robin Williams took his own life. Robin Williams was known for so many classics, and can't be pinned down to ever being renowned for just one character but one of his most famous was in the Dead Poets Society. It was an absolutely …

Knowing your creative style/identity.

I realised I hadn't written anything non review related in a while, and I've been thinking about this subject quite a lot recently, so here we are. The thing that defines many people in the creative industries, and helps to further their careers is their independent style, and ultimately what it is about them that …
