Helen Rogerson: Artist and Massage Therapist Helen specialises in three dimensional design ceramics and commissioned artwork. She teaches art techniques to young people and has recently qualified as a Holistic Massage Therapist. Helen has been involved with the company since 2004. She fell in love with Playback just from the description of it! After completing her A level in theatre studies, she has not been involved in any other drama based work since then. So she was delighted to have the chance to get back into a performance style that connected with her movement and latin dancing that she has been a part of for nine years. She looks forward to the on going learning and freedom of play that the company offers. Read Helen's article about: |

Jules (Julie) Richmond: Voice-over artist, Hypnotherapist & Life Coach Jules has a drama background, and after taking time out to go travelling and have her daughter Katie, she is thoroughly enjoying performing again. Jules saw Random Acts perform in the Brighton Festival in 2003 and instantly wanted to be part of the company. Not knowing what's going to happen next excites her. Playback also fulfills her need for fun and creativity and bridges the gap between work and play. |

Andrew Davson: Adult Education Lecturer Andrew discovered the wonder and revelation of Playback Theatre a few years ago. He became a company member in 2006, having enjoyed Random Acts as a spectator for five or six years. He has a background in dance and drama and teaches literacy and English as a second or other language in London. |

Jean Gilardi: Public Health Advisor After several years as an inner London health visitor, Jean took her first job as an international aid worker. She saw her first Playback performance in 2003, while on holiday from Afghanistan, and was immediately hooked. She took every opportunity to attend workshops and performances between missions and was delighted to be asked to join the company on her return to London in 2007. |

Moira Nangle: Director of Organisation Development For the last ten years Moira has been working in a senior Organisation Development role for an international airline, and she has a keen interest in the concept of organisations as families. Along the way she has trained in person-centred counselling and psychotherapy, health education, adult education and group dynamics. She recently completed an MSc and is now devoting her spare time to having fun, currently learning Djembe drumming, taking swimming improver lessons and learning to play with Random Acts. What attracted her to Random Acts was both the simplicity and power of the work, and it's ability to touch people at a deep level. In fact, after witnessing her first performance, she demanded to go on the very next training course, and the next. She particularly enjoys the fun and camaraderie, together with the respect for people's stories that the company has. She joined the Company in 2007. |

He also lectures in IT. He first saw Playback over fifteen years ago, since when he has enjoyed many performances both as an audience member and performer.
