Artist Directory

Artist DirectoryWhat is the Artist Directory?
The Artist Directory is a project of Warrington Borough Council Arts Development Team. It will comprise a database of professional artists and craftmakers across Warrington and beyond. The Arts Development Team will manage the database and the directory will be made available online. 

How do I join?
It's very simple. You can now use the online form to register your details.

Why should I join?
The Artist Directory is free to join and registration is easy. The Arts Development Team will then be able to: 

  • assist organisations wishing to identify suitable artists for community or schools projects; 
  • advise companies wishing to employ an artist to undertake a commission;
  • provide lists of local artists and craftmakers to the general public.                       

How will my information be used?
Your information will be stored on a database that is managed by the Arts Development Team. Your contact details will then be available to enquirers looking for professional artists and craftmakers. The only information held on the database would be the information that you have supplied through the registration process.

If you wish to get a copy of your database record, or update or remove your details from the Register, simply contact Warrington Borough Council Arts development Team.

Specialism Any method of acting & performance eg. Improvisation, script work, mime, voice projection, stage skills etc...
Experience I have been acting since I was seven. During that time I have aquired expirience in theatre, Telivision and film. Theatre would be my strongest ability as I have been staring in plays since a very early age. I also studied Drama and Theatre Studies at GCSE and A level gaining top marks in performance examination and written work.
Qualifications I have my graded LAMDA Acting examinations from grade two up to Gold medal standard. Also GCSE and A levels in Drama and Theatre Studies.
Do you run workshops, classes
or other training opportunities?
I would be very interested in teaching acting workshops in the summer holidays to children ranging from 9-10 yrs to teens. This would give them an opportunity to try something different and to do something constructive with their time. Also would give the parents peace of mind that their children are being looked after when they obviously still have to work.
Hourly charges £8.00 - £9.00.
