Emma Dodwell-Groves - Chesty Prospects / Shirley Tri-Star

Emma is an interculturalist and musical theatre lover originally from Hong Kong who recently moved to London. Having sunk her teeth into a range of amateur and semi-professional dramatics over the years, she has played Nancy in Oliver, the wardrobe in Beauty and the Beast, Chiffon in Little Shop of Horrors and has sung in a wide range of musical revues.

She’s also done her fair share of non musical amateur theatre, including Eliza in Pygmalion and Helena in A Midsummer Night’s Dreams (with bits in Chinese!). But let’s be honest, plays without glitter boots and the power of disco aren’t half as fun.  

Emma joins Proforca Creative in her first London production since moving back to the UK from Hong Kong, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the cast!

• You’ll have a passion for fringe theatre and a desire to be involved in all aspects of the project management of putting a production together, (If you’ve done something similar for another amateur theatre company, even better!)

As a non-professional group, we all give our time for the love of creating brand new theatre, so all of our team are volunteers (we all have day jobs too!) – but we’re all finding that we’re gaining massive amounts of experience – so like the rest of us, bring the skills from your day job and come and have some fun with us in the theatre!
