Bio/Introduction

Tana is an award-winning actor, director, keynote speaker and executive coach. She has a degree in Acting from Paul McCartney’s Institute For Performing Arts in Liverpool, and a Master’s degree in Creative Arts & Mental Health from Queen Mary University of London. Miraculously, she has retained her American accent, although this achievement becomes significantly less impressive if you put her anywhere near an English pub.

Two years ago, she wrote a one-woman show about her own mental health titled UnTethered, which played in Istanbul, NYC, London, and Edinburgh Fringe, and qualified her as an Arts Council-endorsed Global Talent. When she’s not touring the country delivering keynotes and workshops that support mental wellness through improvisation, embodiment, collaboration and play, she can be found sparring in the Muay Thai gyms of London, saying something like “let’s keep it super light and technical” just seconds before  unleashing a mountain of injustice-fueled rage on unsuspecting men three times her size.

Despite this deeply confusing combination of theatre, mental health, comedy, and recreational violence, Tana considers herself to be a gentle soul, who holds a deep respect for the profound healing power of the theatre.

Please download Tana’s PowerPoint and share with the venue technicians. Tana will run her PowerPoint off of the venue’s computer.

Please ensure the PowerPoint screen is to the side of the stage or above the stage, so the PowerPoint is visible but not projecting directly onto Tana. (She moves around a lot during her keynotes, and will bring volunteers up onto the stage.)

Tana would prefer a remote control with a forward and reverse button to run her own slides.

Tana will require a lav mic for herself, and a wireless handheld mic for volunteers.

If possible, Tana would like to have writing materials (a pad of paper and pens) at each table. If this is not possible, please let us know.

If you have not already done so, please schedule a time for an AV check at the venue prior to the start of Tana’s presentation so we can make sure the PowerPoint is running smoothly, and the audio is set to the appropriate level.
