Biographia

Born in the early 1900’s, as far as I can remember, reborn in the 21st century.  Completed over twenty years as an artist and developer of community arts programmes, with Jubilee Arts and other arts organisations. Lots of projects involving local communities, using photography and film, visual arts, oral history, writing and digital media. (Also involving buses, face painting, glue sniffing and break dancing. It’s a long story…)

First record bought: With The Beatles. Second record bought: Ride a White Swan, T.Rex. Favourite writer: Edgar Rice Burroughs and Richard Brautigan. Can’t decide.

Got a BAFTA as producer of ‘Lifting the Weight’ with Geese Theatre.
You know, they’re surprisingly heavy.

Hitch hiked to Mumbai once. Never quite recovered.

Likes to scribble in meetings. And cooking.

Has quite sharp teeth.

Character weaknesses: vodka, wild women, vampires.

Lives in Warsaw or Birmingham and other places now and then.
