The Hands-On Team




I feel so lucky to have so much support with running my small business. Recently I have been working with Tash, Mike and Brad on a project in London. We all jump on trains and meet in the middle - perfect! I am so inspired by these actors, who started working with me when they were seventeen/eighteen and now are in their mid-twenties. The skills and talent they bring to the work is astounding and I'm privileged to be able to work with them. I have also travelled back to Berkshire recently to run some drug education workshops with Laura and Jack. With very little rehearsal, all of these actors jump into the work with an honesty of character that comes from an understanding of the issues faced by these students/delegates, alongside respect and no judgement for what they share with us on the day. My aim is to pay these guys a good fee while I watch their individual careers take flight. The photograph above is an older photograph of some of them making puppets and the one below shows Tash and Mike role playing in London this month.
