How do you incorporate your theatre/acting background
into your role as host on The Go Show?
I love bringing my movement and dance background to the show - we
do a lot of bouncing around and dancing. We also create crazy, fun
characters all the time. I often think of a special teacher I had
at drama school - how he installed in me the importance of truth
and genuineness with any work I do. We imagined performing to
children a lot with him; they are the most honest audience.
