LearningToDream
Captured by the stories, rhymes and songs. I pursued memorising song lyrics as a child, creating imaginary ‘hits’. And I loved movies. The Saturday morning cartoons and the serials at the Savoy Cinema on Holloway Rd. were a highlight of my week. Until I realised what I loved to do looked greener elsewhere. Whereupon,I tossed a coin and left my parents’ home in London, and emigrated to Toronto, Canada. After relocating to Vancouver in the70’s, I found contract work at a recording studio writing lyrics for ‘jingles’, A-Z. (you name it). Chocolate bars, burgers, real estate, global airlines and corporate anthems. Which segued into penning song lyrics recorded by B.T.O, Bryan Adams, Lee Greenwood and Michael Buble. Also, ”Ordinary People” by The Bootleg Band, written by Ron Irving, won B.C. song of the year. Riding this wave,sparkedmy appetite for performance. Taking classes at the Firehall Group with Mallie Bowman from N.Y.C. provided intensive training in movement, improv, voice and scene work. Afterbeing hired as a contract actor for the Firehall Performance Group. I signed with an agent, auditioned and was cast in industry film and television projects.Life wasshapinga future where the dreams of a kid could become a reality. The next chapter found me moving to Victoria B.C. where, I set up, owned and operated The Screen Actor’s Studio.
