Current position and experience
Alexis is currently the artistic director of Scallabouche Theatre and Training
Director of ImpactWorks Budapest. Since leaving the Welsh College of Music and
Drama in 1990 he has worked consistently as an actor in stage and film in both
Europe and the UK, as a workshop leader and deviser, and more recently as a
director. In 1997 he founded The Scallabouche and since then has created 9
original pieces of theatre, mainly through devising but also through adaptation.
The company has been invited to perform their work as far and wide as Moscow
to Belfast and have developed a reputation for live, in-the-moment-theatre that
feeds off the principles of improvisation mixed with Hungarian absurdism and
creates an ambiguous action, which draws as much on the imagination of the
audience as the performers.
Workshops have always been an integral part of
Alexis’s work and he has devised and run
workshops for young offenders, students, health workers and business
professionals. In 1998 he was invited to set up the communication skills training
department at Dramatrix Corporate Training, where he successfully blended
improvisation theatre games into communication training modules and ran the
department until March 2008 when he left to concentrate entirely on the
Scallabouche and Impact Training.
