ABOUT ME AND MY EXPERIENCE

My name is Rachel Adams, stage name Rachel Lee Moore.
I am currently furthering my education to become a drama teacher , preferably in a stage or acting school.

I started dancing at the age of three and acting at the age of seven but matured to discover and realise that these were strong talents of mine.
I began my performing career in Coventry, my home town, at the Abby School of dance. I furthered my training in London at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts on their three year Musical Theatre course. Here I studied and trained in many styles of dance, unique methods of acting and selection of techniques to apply when singing. This establishment enhanced my performance in all disciplines and highlighted my strengths and weakness' within the performance industry. I achieved the acting award for two years running which I found a major stimulant to my confidence and it was here that I firmly established my passion to direct and act. I gathered much experience from my training and performed at the Brit Awards, Hammersmith Palace and several productions at Avondale Theatre. I was also lucky enough to perform at the Prince Edward Theatre in ' The Royal Masonic Variety Performance' as a singer/dancer.

After graduating I achieved my first professional job as a backing dancer in 'The Give Back Project' managed by Arlene Philips and Niki Kemp. As well as superb performances the job demanded strong team work and physical self discipline.

This job led me to later accept a dance job in Paris where I worked as a choreographer and dance captain in shows and parades. Although I loved my work in dance and loved the sense of performing I missed the satisfaction I felt from acting and it was this feeling that inspired me to act.

I soon adapted a role in a new written play entitled 'The Perfect Man for Me' and later achieved a principal role in the short film 'The Pledge' produced by Ocean Storm Productions.

With all my experience and and motivation in acting I felt I would make a brilliant teacher with new ideologies that would enhance and inspire others in their acting.

I am now teaching acting and dance workshops for Jago Performers in Worcester and abbey school in Coventry as well as teaching hourly sessions at Aldermans Green Primary School for the younger generation. I still often audition for an independent performing career because I believe this will all contribute to my knowledge and experience in the industry; this being a major quality in my work of teaching.

It is my ambition to achieve as many skills possible to further my career and join a faculty in a successful and well established stage school, then perhaps one day build and run one of my own.

Midlesex's BAPP course will support me to do this and achieve my dream. I find the course a brilliant method to achieve this and a great encouragement. Already, I am thoroughly enjoying the course and would highly recommend the course to friends, family and future colleges.
