During a long career playing Cats, Apes, various villains, monsters and clergymen, I have come to view my role in the world as that of a “Storyteller”- someone who uses play, transformation and empathy with a character to shed light on our joys and sorrows, our triumphs and our tragedies.
More recently, in my painting and my poetry, I have tried to continue in the pursuit of finding sense in a chaotic cosmos and beauty in our human adventure and passing any newfound insights on to the audience, the viewer or the reader. All of this is made possible by a desire, or perhaps even a need, to play: with voice, with body, with colours and textures and with words. To set free the “inner child” even as it gradually becomes a senior citizen!
Please join me for an evening of conversation about these diverse but interconnected aspects of the artistic process.
