http://www.frances.marrington.net

I am a professional theatre, film, and physical theatre actor. I have a B.A. (Drama) from QUT, and in 2003 was accepted into the full-time acting course at VCA. I have trained in the Eric Morris method with Martin Challis in Brisbane, with the Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble, in Basic Stage Combat with Nigel Poulton and Felicity Steel in Melbourne, in Acting for Camera with Alexi Vellis in Melbourne, in the Suzuki and Viewpoints methods with the SITI company in New York, in butoh dance-theatre with the Su-En company in Sweden, and in physical theatre with Zen Zen Zo in Brisbane. I am currently based in Brisbane, working with local companies Zen Zen Zo and the Qld Shakespeare Ensemble. I have worked as an actor and entertainer in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Tasmania, and am currently looking for casual or part-time work based in Brisbane. I can travel inter-state / internationally for short-term performance work.
