Gosh...so many things. Everything that has happened up to this point in my life has influenced me creatively as an Actor, Dancer and Writer. Not so much famous Actors, Musicians or Writers as I don't have any idols and don't try to acto / dance / or write like anyone else. It's moreso ( having moved around a lot ) places I've been, things I've seen, people I've met and interracted with / had relationships/friendships with, things I've heard, tasted, smelled, and my own personal experiences and childhood memories. Every single place / person / thing I have encountered has influenced me and made me who I am.
I appreciate Art in everything and some of the Writers / Actors / Directors / Musicians / Movements I regard are....Yeats, Keats, BB King,John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Madonna, Britney, Jj Cale, Nine Inch nails, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Aretha Franklin, Fiona Apple, Patti Smith, Funkadelic, The Doors, Michael Jackson, BRMC, QOTSA, Robert Plant, Tool, Kate Bush, Marilyn Manson, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, 60's/70's Cheese and Charts, Swing, Breakbeat.........to name but a few.........Nothing is ever Black or White...or Good or Bad! The grey bits count too, I try to find and appreciate that in all Art Forms. Coen Brothers.., Anything with Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, Maggie Smith, Kate Winslet, Helena Bonhgam-Carter, Cate Blanchett, Philip Seymor Hoffman, William H Macy, Christopher Walken, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Diane Lane, Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburn, Marylin Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Gary Sinise, Paul Newman..........to name a few.

My mother is Irish and my father is German. Due to their separation when I
was 7 and my mothers flourishing career as an oil painter; we left Frankfurt,
Germany, to go to Dublin, Ireland. From then up until I was 18 and moved to
London to go to Drama School, we relocated a few times, from Germany and
Ireland to France and England.
I now find that as a consequence of my experiences I cope with life as an
actor and poet quite well, as oppose to feeling insecure as a result of the instability
of working life, I find security through that instability; primarily because it's what
I've been used to.
Performance is my life! Creating art is the basis of my existence. I find that
I must create in some way in any given day to remain sane, whether that is through
acting, character work, practising accents/monologues, poetry writing, poetry
performance, or dancing. It's like an itch that constantly needs scratching, there is
no cessation in the need to do so. Afterwards, there remains the most incredible
sense of peace and tranquility I have ever known.
I have an insatiable lust for life, knowleadge, and creativity. Some aspects of
my personality are that I am extremely fearless, spontaneous, dedicated and
tenacious.
After completing Drama School in July 2005 I started to get full time
individual acting coaching classes with Ex-RSC Director Barry Baker. Since then I
have maintained this training bi – weekly and have done several film and television
productions. After 1 year of intense, unresistant hard work, I have recently secured
representation with London Acting Agent Bill Ellis, A & B Personal Management.
The way in which I work as both an Actor and Poet is very precise. The most
important aspect for me is to initially view 'the whole', having knowledge of the
whole I then break it down into minute individual parts and proceed to work on
each part.
1.
Poetry and Writing. When writing I attempt to condense a whole idea into as few
words as possible so that my work is extremely dense. 1 word can can make all the
difference!!! This also allows me to incorporate more ideas into the piece.
Sometimes the words just come to me, other times I might work on 1 sentence/
word for hours and simultaneously choose whether alliteration, assonance,
dissonance or some other literary tool should be included.
2.
Acting. There are many aspects to Acting so I'll just concentrate on script
work for now. Always bearing in mind 'the whole' and its subsequent components.
This is purely technical, the emotion comes afterward. I will break down each
paragraph, each thought, each sentence, then most words and translate their
meaning physically. For as we know 80 percent of what we say as humans we say
physically through body language as oppose to verbally. I will then exaggerate
this physicality. Through doing so it gives the actual word I'm working on a lot
more weight because after repeating this many times my muscle memory
remembers what I did physically for that word. I can then minimise or take out
the physicality completely and the word will still remain as forceful. So it
translates from body/muscle memory to the brain and out through voice with
all the meaning and emphasis intact.
I also use this for poetry, and attempt to not physicalise much so that there
is more intensity in the words. This only works after going through this process.
It does however, make it a lot easier to handle scripts/poems at a cold reading
because I have a database of knowledge of how to work already in my mind.
I firmly believe the difference between an actor/poet with innate talent who
is good, and an actor/poet with innate talent who is great is the long hours of sheer
hard graft one puts into one's work. I certainly do that.
It was fantastic to meet you and see you perform in Edinburgh. I shall have to wait to see you do "God." Maybe Glasgow in May? All the best on your tour - hope you're able to stop and rest for a few days.

There is a story behind the imagery used in the animation for TWiN Poetry PiCK of the WEEK track "Inside of Outside" by Cyndi Dawson and Jair-Rohm Parker-Wells.
It explores the the relationship of the Muse with the female artist and some of the images used are over 27,000 years old from a site known as Dolni Vestonice which was in Moravia.
It illustrates the archetype of the artist-shaman as living both inside and outside of their own culture.
Here was an encampment of dwellings made of mammoth-bones covered with hides which was surrounded by a low circular rock wall.
Just outside of this was found an isolated stone hut which contained a kiln and a burial of the woman who both lived and worked there and so this became also her final resting place.
She is regarded as the world's first known artist for it is here that we find fired clay images for the very first time in human history.
Some of the animal figurines are finely shaped - particularly a study of the head of a cave lioness.
You should be able to find many images of these online if you look.
sorry about that I must have given you the wrong one.
That's funny because I tried that one a while ago too, the one I gave you, and it made me all mad because they sucked real bad, and they didn't pay too good either they offered like sweepstakes and stuff instead of cash.
But anyways, the right site is
www.tops15.com
it's the one I am making $650 a week with putting in about 23 hours a week, sometimes up to like 30 hours if I'm daydreaming.
After you get your membership make sure you sign up with the companies on page one in the members section because they are the ones that pay you the most, I got $75 for one that took me 25 minutes today. You'll see what I'm talking about when you get in there.
Jackie started taking them too and she's making $800 a week, it's making me so mad because I'm the one that showed her which one to sign up with now she's making more than me.
Alright well me and Owen are getting ready to leave now, just give me a call or I'll catch you on here and let me know if you have any problems with your membership. TTYS hun
