Paul Macklin

I play with images, sounds, and words. Exploring how they feel and fit together. Discovering what their relationship is to one another. To me. And to others.

I take this play, this curiosity, this exploration, and try to sculpt meaning out of it. Moulding it into something that somehow reflects part of life, or at least, my experience of it.

WAYFINDER;

"A square of light unfolds in the floor. The roof space comes alive with the soft illumination. A young woman climbs into the room. The loft light doesn't work. She lights candles. A sea of cardboard boxes are scattered around the room. They bear bold, red lettering, and arrows, 'This Way Up', pointing in every direction but."

What is left of your life, when life has left you?

Wayfinder is an exploration of memory, loss, and legacy, woven together into a narrative that confronts the complexities of life and death. Through the lens of ergodic literature and artistic multimodality, this series of creative artefacts invites participants and audiences alike to navigate the fragmented thoughts and emotions of the characters, as they grapple with their pasts, confront the weight of grief, and seek the meaning in the remnants of their lives.

    Reviews. Thoughts. FEELINGS.

    Sometimes I share my thoughts and feelings—on creativity, existing creative outputs, and the intersections of art and life. These pieces are part of the ongoing journey, where ideas take shape and meaning often emerges along the way.

    Headshot
    "Paul is a creative singer, poet, writer, actor and storyteller. His talent and passion is truly remarkable, he has a unique ability to captivate an audience with his performances. Paul's writing is equally impressive, with a gift for storytelling that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
    His creativity and imagination know no bounds, and his work is always original and engaging!
    Pure talent, passion, and dedication to the arts, and I have no doubt that they will continue to make a significant impact in the creative world for years to come

    “Paul remained focused, professional and in good spirits during a long shoot in rather uncomfortable conditions. He displayed the patience and understanding that, as a director, helps keep the schedule running smoothly. As a creator himself, he was able to offer his own personal suggestions but he did so in a respectful way that didn’t feel like he was trying to take over the creative process - only enhance it for the benefit of all involved.”Simon Brewer

    “Working with Paul has been a pleasure and a delight; dedicated, reliable and immensely talented - what more could a director ask for in an actor? His ability to adapt to a developing text whilst offering insightful suggestions when called upon will see Paul at the top of every casting list I make.”Lewis Schaefer

    “Paul is very creative in a range of spheres and I don’t think he really realises just how talented he is, or how much he has about him. He’s also a thoroughly nice fella and I’m very pleased to now have him as a friend.”Paul Warner
