Trevor Allan Davies (1952- ?)

 B.Mus, LWCMD, STAT, CANSTAT

I trained at the University of Manitoba and at Brandon University, graduating in 1973 with a Bachelor of Music degree. After a year of professional musical activity and a number of very successful amateur and semi-professional acting roles, I moved to the United Kingdom for a one year post graduate course in acting at the Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff, South Wales.

My career has involved acting, writing, directing, musical performance, composition and arranging for fringe, repertory and West End London theatre,  BBC Radio and Television, and the Independant TV networks, as well as touring and collaborating with British Jazz partnership Mike & Kate Westbrook and Australian 'Rennaissance woman' Robyn Archer and writing and composing arena-size family shows for international concert management Marshall Arts .

I have made a number of music and story albums for children: a collaboration with American singer-educator Margo Johnsen resulted in an album of popular songs for younger children. These form an intrinsic part of her educational program, Blueberry Playsongs music groups.  The album can be ordered from Blueberry Playsongs where some samples of my arranging work can be heard and downloaded.  

In the early eighties I began studying the Alexander Technique to manage my injured back, and after some years of private study went on to train as teacher of the Technique. I completed my training in 1990. Since then I have worked very closely with F.M. Alexander's niece,  Marjory Barlow. Our book, An Examined Life, was published in September 2002 by Mornum Time Press of San Francisco (and can be ordered from their website).

In the early eighties I also began working with the Australian Spiritual Master, Barry Long, and ultimately took employment with the Barry Long Foundation , producing and editing Barry Long's teaching tapes in a small studio in a 17th century cottage in Lower Vexford, Somerset (UK). I continued in this capacity alongside my musical and Alexander teaching work until the Foundation moved its operations to Australia in 1996. Barry Long died in December 2003.

At the end of 1996 I re-migrated to Canada, where I taught the Alexander Technique, played with many superb musicians, and acted on CBC Radio. I continue to maintain teaching practices in St. John's, Newfoundland and in Kingston, Ontario (in association with More than Music and the Kingston Suzuki Institute). In April 2004 I returned to the UK, where I am now living once again.

In the UK I am now teaching in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire in a building recently discovered to be the oldest timber frame building in England.

Archaeologists from English Heritage believe it to be the remains of one wing of a 13th century manor house.

I continue to act and to compose and perform as a musician, and recently completed a 3 month engagement in Thomas Middleton's Women Beware Women at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

As a performing artist I'm represented by Nikki Winterson at Michael Garrett Associates (020 78394888).
