Alex Jarvie
ARTIST BIO
I am a third year Acting student, ready to graduate, from NClan Arts. Over the past three years I have experimented and expanded by skill set and repertoire as an actor and all round performer. Having recently completed our graduate showcase, I have began to consider where I best fit into the industry and where I see myself working.
I enjoy a variety of genres, comedy in particular. I enjoy scottish comedy and feel this is where I fit in best due to my accent and very scottish comedic timing. I would also love to work on educational pieces for children and teenagers whilst incorporating that same relatable and engaging Scottish sense of humour into them. I hope to continue to develop my skills in the hope that I could collaborate with other creators to create the type of work that I see myself working on.
Coming from a strong dance background I am always striving to incorporate movement and physical theatre into my projects. When entering the industry, I would welcome the opportunity to work on and collaborate on physical theatre/movement projects whilst also working on improving this part of my skill set.
