Alicia Brockenbrow wants to encourage others to work in TV and film
Alicia Brockenbrow, 31, from Bootle , had a clear idea of what she wanted to do growing up. Speaking to the ECHO, Alicia said: “As a child, I was always the centre of attention. I enjoyed performing for people. People enjoying what I was doing made me want to keep doing that sort of stuff.”
As well as getting the part in the Jimmy McGovern-written series, Alicia had also obtained experience of behind-the-scenes work with Liverpool-based company LA Productions. She began to specialise as the second assistant director, a role which involves liaising with actors and arranging make-up and set dressing.
“It was really really exciting and quite intimidating, but I didn't mind. I was quite happy. You've got these actors who are all so amazing and so professional. They've got so much to learn but pull it out the bag.” “I turned to him and went, would you rather me do? He said, do it in your own accent. I was relieved. Then I could concentrate on the performance.”
Alicia hopes her work can show other young people in Merseyside that they can succeed in the industry despite the difficulties working-class northerners face breaking into creative industries. She said: “I'd encourage people to not see that barrier. If you start saying, that's not for me, you won’t get anywhere.
