Is there a place within the Puy Du Fou family for me?
I am an established screen actress, with a first class degree in musical theatre and a diploma in professional acting. In addition to acting and singing experience, I have had multidisciplinary dance training, with an introduction to Flamenco, stage combat lessons (I also attend beginners classes at a school of Historical European Martial Arts in London) and I have also just achieved Progressive Riding Test Equitation Level One.
I have directorial credits on IMDb for two projects, ‘Saudade’ and ‘Love Kills’. My skills also extend to screenwriting. I've written a short screenplay about 19th century French female entrepreneur Madame Pommery, of the champagne house Pommery and I have started developing 'Britannia', which is a Cinéscénie inspired show, based on British history.
I believe I have a lot to offer with my multidisciplinary skill set, but I know that my French language skills are sadly lacking and despite although I am working on them decisively, I fear they may hold me back applying for this next season. I'm assuming that complete fluency in French is expected for performers?
I'm interested in the experienced insight of this forum to see if there is any way for me to be employed and or gain volunteer experience now, while I improve my language? Either on stage or behind the scenes in a creative capacity. Interestingly I have read in the press, that an English Puy Du Fou site potentially being established in the vicinity of Oxford in the future? I would love to be first in line to facilitate any international expansion.
Details of my experience can be viewed on my Spotlight profile below, as well as my IMDb and showreel:

Best wishes,
