Alex has spent the last four years as a student of Queen Margaret University, the last two of which were spent specialising in contemporary performance under Bianca Mastrominico and John Dean of Organic Theatre. During this time he was lucky enough to be involved in a large number of small scale projects across the city.

He has also spent the last two years working with Edinburgh's Imaginate Festival, the long established and marvellous international children's theatre festival which brings some of the best pieces of young peoples theatre from across the world to Edinburgh every May/June.

Before this, Alex spent some of his formative years as a member of Cambridge based Fringe regulars Gomito Productions, where he worked as a performer and writer.
