Celebrancy

I’m a Family and Funeral Celebrant, trained by, and a member of, the UK Society of Celebrants. I’m based in the north-west of Kent, in a village near to Sevenoaks & Tonbridge. 

I’m available to create and lead a wide variety of ceremonies, including funerals, weddings, baby namings, or renewal of marital vows. These can be humanist or spiritual in nature, and will always be focused on you and your loved ones. 

Theatre

I’m a playwright, actor, and director, and also an acting tutor. 

I have written several one-act plays which have been performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe,  and have also taken work to London, Faversham, Tonbridge, and Madrid.  

Productions I have directed include Hangmen, A Monster Calls, Things I Know To Be True, and One Man, Two Guv’nors

Coaching

I coach individuals in Acting, and Public Speaking, skills.  This has included adults and young people studying for LAMDA exams.

I utilise a variety of theatre skills and processes to help develop physical and vocal skills, tailoring the work to meet your specific needs, whether that be growing confidence or preparing for a specific public speaking engagement or activity.


What shall we do together?

I’m keen to collaborate creatively with others in a variety of ways.
I’m available to support you in developing your creativity, acting skills, writing, or public-speaking. 
If any of this resonates do get in touch!

CREATE YOUR play

I can support in the writing of a play, the devising of a play, or getting a new play on its feet.  

I can provide a constructively critical opinion, actors to read your script, and suggestions for developing your work from the perspective of a playwright, an actor, and a director.


WRITE THAT SPEECH

If you want support in writing a speech – whether for a public, professional, or family occasion, I can help you.

I can meet with you in person, or virtually, to help you plan, structure, and refine your speech – and then coach you on its delivery.


MAKE SOME music

Have you got a play that would benefit from original music? I can work with you to create something bespoke to your requirements, in a variety of styles and moods. 

I can also help with the recording of your own songs/music if that is of interest.


DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS

Would you like to develop your skills as an Actor or Public Speaker? If so, I would love to meet and work with you.

Using a variety of theatre processes I can help develop confidence, as well as physical and vocal techniques for acting or speaking.


Reflecting Life

The heart of my work, particularly in Theatre, or Celebrancy, is reflecting life. 

As a writer and dramatist, this means the stories I’m passionate about telling are ones rooted in real life, and often stories that are seldom told or overlooked.

As a celebrant, this means that the ceremonies I create and lead reflect the lives of the people I am there to serve, be it a couple starting their lives together, or someone who has sadly passed away.

All our stories are important, significant, and meaningful. They deserve to be told, and heard, and celebrated.

Social Media Links

Although I’m ancient I do use some social media – but I draw the line at TikTok or Snapchat! 

The first Facebook link is for my theatre/music – the second is for my Celebrancy.
