Growing up in the midlands, my first encounter with live theater, other than the school nativity, was my mum and dad taking me to the Birmingham Rep to see their Christmas shows. Each year was something spectacularly different - The Snowman, Blood Brothers, The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe - the catalyst for where I am today. My love for performance fuelled me from part time Saturday drama classes, to full time drama school. Training at institutions such as Tring Park School for the Performing Arts, Rada and NYU started my love for all elements of theater, the production, the storytelling, the development, and ultimately led to the creation of Fatter Productions. Artistic collaboration, the amplification of new voices, and the magical abyss that exists in the boundaries between film and theater are all the elements that make up the skeleton of fatter productions. Then to flesh it out, to add a little depth, to make our work bigger, better.. fatter.. That’s up to interpretation really.
