I am a 40 year old Pacific Islander of Tokelauan, Samoan and Cook Island descent.
I am a hard worker and give my all to projects, and jobs placed before me. If i dont know the answer to something, I will find the answer, if i dont know how to do something, i will tell you and then find out how to.
I work well on my own, and work well with a team.
my first real taste in theatre was Summer Shakespeare where I met some wonderful people whom i still keep in touch with now. and if you want to know if i caught the bug....i did. but since then have had no more acting experiences.
Ive just started writing some stuff down, and its turning out to be a bit of a script which if i keep plodding along and finish it, just might have people knocking my door down for the script - doubtful though, still its fun to see something forming right in front of you as you let ink flow.
Ive written and handful of poems which I have already posted.
ive composed a few arrangements (piano - choir pieces) and thats about it.
So i guess my arts talents are still trying to push thru the soil but with a little help thru TBI forum, a coconut tree just might grow.
I play a few instruments they being the guitar, ukulele and piano. Of these three the piano is my love. I cannot read music, but am good at playing by ear.
I write poems and have posted a few on various websites, I have just started dabbling in playwrighting.
