Vickie

I am a trained actor and have been performing and storytelling since 2000 in children's theatre, street theatre, festivals, events, panto and storytelling.

My work forms two overlapping strands: acting, and storytelling. I'm also co-artistic director of Pakiki Theatre CIC.

I've been a proud member of Equity since 2000.
