О себе: I'm an actress/performance poet/general artistic type.I do lots of different creative stuff. At the moment me and my friend are running our new theatre company RoguePlay at The Custard Factory in Birmingham and the rest of the time you can find me stomping around Shakespeares Birthplace in Stratford in a corset and heels spouting the great Bards work.
I also run 'Rhymes', a monthly performance poetry night at The Custard Factory and Funbags, a comedy improvisation troupe. If your a Brum based poet/performer and would like to get involved in either of these, drop me a line on lorna@rogueplay.co.uk.
Career highlights so far include performing poetry at Glastonbury, being in a really cool short film;(http://copperraven.com/movies/ahoweb.wmv), winning £3,000 for writing a really shit poem (its all gone of course, artistry and wealth never mix!)and taking an original show up to Edinburgh Fringe.
My biggest claim to fame and randomist thing I've done so far in my career is having my arm in 'Doctors'. I play acoustic guitar badly, am slightly obsessed with The Mighty Boosh and I can spin plates, you never know when that might come in handy!
I thought this might be a good way to get my stuff out into cyberspace and meet fellow creative types and also to shamelessly promote myself to get gigs and exposure.
I also perform as Melinda Deathgoth, my manic depressive alter ego; www.myspace.com/killallcheerleaders and her trailer trash mother Darla July Daygwar; www.myspace.com/trailertrashhussy.
'an incredibly innovative and talented performance poet.'
Giovanni Esposito, Birmingham’s Poet Laureate
'Lorna has an excellent knack of making personal experiences universal,
and for writing poetry that all age groups can relate to. She invariably
succeeds in pulling audiences into her world.'
Rob Gee, Established Performance Poet and Comedian
'Actress, performance poet and mistress of silly voices, Lorna can jump from cockney chavette to brummy dominatrix with breathtaking ease.'
Dave Parkin, Metro-Boulot-Dodo Theatre Company
