I... have been involved in the arts for over forty-two years. Acting, directing, producing, stage managment, writing plays, poetry and songs, planning and coordinating all types of shows/events and am now heavily involved in talent management. I recently January 04, 2009, received the cornerstone award from the Barbados Music Awards. As I said in my 'acceptance' speech.."I thank you for presenting me with this your token of appreciation however my 'reward' is the success of all of the persons who have allowed me to touch their lives in any way they have..." I feel quite Blessed.....Thank you Ronnie Morris (one of my children of whom I am quite proud) and members of the management and selection team and committee of the BMA.

I still spend a lot of time counselling (privately), persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families and give support to persons diagnosed and living with cancer.


I am said to be friendly and easy to talk to, hence my phone is a 24-hour call center. Recently I have become very involved in marriage and relationship counselling which is harder than dealing with people with medical challenges. C'est la vie!


And where do i get the energy? God provides it every second of the day by re-fueling my engine! He is wonderful that way!


Most of my energy is spent (these days )in the development of the youth and seniors in all art forms.


I started my theatre experience with tutoring from: Elton "Elombe" Mottley, Monica Procope, Daphne Joseph-Hackett (deceased),Bodger "Kofi Akobi" Gittens (all from Barbados) Alwyn Bully (Dominica), Slade Hopkinson (deceased) (Jamaica), Ken Corsbie (Guyana)and Derek Walcott (St. Lucia). I remebered to mention their names at the 2009 BMA.


Sweeping the stage was my first job...and for one (1) year I did just that along with fetching and carrying. I continued and had training in all aspects of theatre. I have worked on and with several productions, performed locally, in the UK, Canada, the USA as well as a few countries in the Caribbean and countless locally of course. I am also known as the voice for certain radio and the character for some television ads.


Mine has been an experience I won't EVER forget.


Over 23 years ago I started to direct and my first play.."Run for your wife" was a huge success, that was done through the Green Room Players and I thank Jeffrey Evanson, the Chairman at the time, for that opportunity, which would have come..maybe a bit later. the Soroptomist Village in Eden Lodge was started from funds received from that production. Dame Olga Lopes-Seale was the co-producer with the Green Room Players.


From that time until to now, I have directed several plays, produced, planned events, taught drama, managed calypso tents, managed talent in music and theatre, providing opportunities for young people interested in culture as well as operated as a consultant for groups and individuals.


My present occupation is developing young people in music and theatre as well as planning and coordinating events. I do stage management quite a lot as well, both locally and overseas. I spent most of 2008 working with Richard Stoute GCM, BSS, founder of the Teen Talent Contest which has been running for the past 33 years. It was an awesome year for him (Mr Stoute,reaching 63, in show biz for 53 years and the teen talent marking its 33rd year not to mention receiving from the Government of Barbados, The Gold Crown of Merit GCM., the third highest award to be given by the Barbados Government) and the winners who through Kirk Brown CEO of Good Vybz Inc and headliner & bandleader of Strategy recorded their first singles which will be released at their alma mater yes they are both students - past & present of the) Garrison Secondary School on th e20th of February, the 13th birthday of 6-12 winner Cherish Breedy.


I will, eventually, list some of the productions I appeared in, directed, planned and coordinated. I know I promised when I set up this my space but that takes time so bear with me....Thanks, Bless!


Hey, I was thinking about this arts thing and I believe that in my next life, I would do it all again, but because of my experience(s)now, I WILL start to charge from day (1)ONE!!!! What do you think???? (lol)

Thank you for stopping by and listen check out my friends' pages, they are ALL awesome people with beautiful music, stories, spiritual and educational, check my bulletins and blogs as I try to share what I know or am interested in with you! ..Thank you my cherished friends!
