Emily Turrini
Emily Mary Bianca Turrini has stood out from the crowd since she was young. Never one to follow the herd she has built her own identity as The Gothic English Rose. Emily thrives in historical environments and dramatic scary situations, she therefore places herself within the niche of Gothic cinema. At the same time as restoring some old fashioned British grace and etiquette to the set.
Emily started her theatre acting journey very early at primary school in 1994. She took every opportunity to get involved. Enjoying every moment of rehearsals for school plays. Her after school clubs included the school's Netball team and she was a member of the school country dancing club who performed at local events.
Towards the end of 1998 and early 1999 Emily joined the Gregory School of Dance where she trained until 2009. Over this 11 year stretch Emily took many examinations in Modern Ballroom and Modern Latin American under the governing body of the United Kingdom Alliance. In 2000 Emily competed at the UKA National Ballroom and Latin American Championships at Drayton Manor. She watched as those around her danced incredibly complicated routines in their expensive dresses as she waited for her category to compete. Nervously taking to the floor in her own dresses which were mere party dresses, with her teacher Emily competed in the 11 to 13's category. She danced the male part which is harder to do due to the responsibility of the role. Her competition dances were Waltz, Quickstep, Cha-Cha-Cha, Rumba and Samba. Emily returned home that day as National Champion in both styles (Ballroom and Latin). Unfortunately she was unable to return the following year to defend her title.
At secondary school in 2001, she performed in every school play that arose and was eventually invited to join the school Shakespeare team. This allowed her to compete in the Nottingham Shakespeare Society's Annual Schools Competition. In the two years she was with the Shakespeare team (2005 & 2006) Emily won the award for best actress for both years. Firstly, for her portrayal of Hermia in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and secondly, for her role as Catherine in "The Taming of the Shrew". Not wanting to simply leave after her GCSEs she wanted to go out with a bang; so she bowed out gracefully by returning for her last stand albeit backstage as stage manager for the school's production of "The Terrible Fate of Humpty Dumpty".
Emily specialized her training from 2006 by studying a BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts at college achieving a triple merit. She was very happy with this achievement as it was a harder course than what she applied and auditioned for. She wanted to do A Level Drama and this was the equivalent of doing three A Levels in Drama. Whilst at college Emily was fortunate enough to work with Sinfonia Viva at one of their concerts as a contemporary dancer.
After college she was employed at Disneyland Paris though unfortunately she fell ill and had to return home. Once Emily had recovered she decided to join local theatre groups to get back on stage and enjoy her love of acting and performing again. "Peer Gynt" being Emily's first show after recovering.
For a brief while in 2010 Emily was training as a dance teacher. She decided that teaching was not for her as it took away her love of dancing and turned it into a chore. A feeling and frame of mind Emily did not want.
Emily has completed extra training with the Derby Academy of Acting within the practice of Stanislavski.
Emily restarted her dance training in 2011 with the Duesbury Aldred Dance Centre ready for competitions and further exams. Emily's competitive dancing with the school under the ISTD has seen her place in the top 3 so often that she earned a place in the International Championships 2012 in Blackpool.
