I am an actor, writer and spoken-word artist, currently studying English with Creative Writing at the University of Birmingham.

I'm the 2012-13 (and recently re-elected 2013-14!) Literary Events Officer for Writers' Bloc, the University's creative writing society, which means I'm responsible for organising and hosting open-mic nights and poetry slams in the city.

I take on acting jobs when time allows, and perform regularly at various spoken-word events around the country. If you'd like to know more about me as an actor or poet then there's a link my Casting Call Pro profile - with a list of training, credits and a headshot - via the about.me link at the top of the page, and there's a link straight to me poetry site - featuring videos and a list of upcoming live dates - right alongside it. Also, check out my IdeasTap portfolio for other examples of my spoken and written work.

If you want to keep abreast of what I'm up to - including performance dates for poetry and acting gigs, details of other events, occasional Haiku, and even more occasional musings on life, the universe and everything - then you can follow me on Twitter @BenNorris7

Alternatively, or additionally, I check my messages on IdesTap pretty regularly, so if you have a question/proposition/just wanna say hi, then feel free!
