She’s enjoyed several successful runs at the Edfringe as well as touring the UK.
Other acting credits include stints at the Battersea Arts Centre, numerous audio dramas for Big Finish and Audible and plays series regular, 'Jackie' Tate in the Dark Shadows audio drama series. She also performed in The Suffragettes with Lucy Worsley a BAFTA winning production with BBC One.
She is currently working on a large-scale family show with integrated accessibility with the support of Arts Council England, Battersea Arts Centre and Merton Libraries. She is also developing her fourth play and working on the screen adaptation of When We Died.
I invited Alex onto the podcast to talk about the importance
of a self-care routine specifically her self-care process while she was performing her one woman show about sexual abuse at the EdFringe this year. Including how she safeguards her wellbeing after her emotional performances and having boundaries not only between herself and her character but between herself and those audience members who strongly resonate with the shows themes and want to talk with her afterward. We also touched on the unintentional psychological healing that comes from performing her own work.
