Sadie Pickering Acting Headshot 2023.jpeg

Acting

Sadie began her career as an actress at a very young age in radio, television and theatre. Continuing to work alongside school, it was her passion. Alongside her jobs she would also source brilliant teachers and projects in the Manchester area (the contact theatre/royal exchange youth group/the zion centre).

 

At 18 she decided to apply for drama school and trained at Drama Centre London, graduating in 2008 with a First Class Honours degree. The training was of such a high level and she met some incredible people.

 

Following further work in the industry she reached a point where she decided to step away and try something completely different and help run her family's business 'The Yard' in Cheshire. After taking 5 years off she missed it and re-entered the industry and loves having her foot back in the door with a lot more life experience behind her.

 

Sadie believes as an actor you are constantly developing, even when you’re not acting. The more you grow in yourself, the better you become. She learnt so much from her fellow actors and has been lucky enough to work with some of the best.

 

"It’s about storytelling, it can be so powerful."

 

"This art form is so important in today's world. As an actor you are bringing your truth to portray and honour a character and the story you are telling."

 

Sadie takes so much pleasure in transforming and discovering a character at their core.

"The highlights of my career include Steel Magnolias UK tour (“Her performance is of touching poignancy” – What’s On Stage) where I was proud to share a stage with Isla Blair, Cherie Lunghi, Kacey Ainsworth, Cheryl Campbell and Denise Welch. Prior to this, another favourite role that I could really get my teeth into was Flick Mellor in the BAFTA-winning TV series Waterloo Road."  

- Graduated with First Class Honours Degree in Acting from Drama Centre London
