Hello there,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I thought I'd start with a little bit of information about myself, starting with how I became a workshop leader.

At the age of seventeen I left school bored and a little unsure about whether I wanted to be an actress, a teacher, an air hostess, a social worker or a lawyer.

I bought the Stage magazine and found myself auditioning for a part in an exiled South African writers play, "The trial of Dedan Kimathi".

The writers name was Ngugi Wa Thiongo and the tour started in the Africa Centre, Covent Garden and went all around England.

The tour lasted an intense six months during which my giftings as a workshop leader were discovered by a wonderfully inspirational composer and leader, Eugene Skeef.

He watched me lead the warm up for a company of 25 actors and musicians,(of which I was the youngest member), and then told me that there was a job for me at the Oval House Theatre. I asked him what the position was. He told me that the Theatre needed a Voice Tutor and he felt that I would be perfect for the job.

I went for the interview with absolutely no understanding of what a voice tutor was, and to my surprise Ros Price who ran the Centre employed me on Eugenes recommendation.

That was where it all started. I learnt how to teach and run workshops without going to teacher training college. I instead used prayer and my God given instinct.

After three and a half years at the centre I found that my reputation was spreading and before long I was running workshops in schools, for other projects, in hospitals and then I was invited to go into prisons (visiting only!), and share my skills with men and women inside.

Before long, requests for my work started to come from clients who having attended my workshops in London had moved abroad and wanted me to visit them in their Art Centres in their home countries. So I began to travel abroad to share my skills with any one who asked, in all areas of the community.
