TELLING THE STORY:
How I find my way home.
I live with my family is sunny? Brighton. but grew up in Harlesden, London - with Scottish parents. My chaotic family life resulted in my being expelled from school and leaving home at age sixteen.
I eventually attended UCL to History of Art - before setting up my own dance /teaching business.
I have studied Advanced Story Structure with John Yorke and filmmaking with Julian Kerridge at Brighton Met.
I identify as disabled and working-class (underclass). And I campaign for Advanced Breast Cancer patients (BBC News).
