Nick Carroll
Raymond Nicholas (Nick) Carroll
BA Hons Contemp. Dance (London); Dip Tch Secondary (New Zealand); Masters Soc Sci – Counselling (Uni SA Australia).
Born in Southern New Zealand just after the war, Nick Carroll, enjoyed an outdoor rural childhood before becoming stage struck in his mid-teens. This led to a life-long career in dance and theatre, performing, teaching, and creating in many parts of the world and in numerous capacities. On retirement he took up writing and in 2018 self-published a Memoir called “Is There Something Wrong with Me?” - a ‘coming of age’ story. He has also written poems, short stories (one published in a local anthology), autobiographical stories, articles, doggerel, and a few angry letters to newspapers.
Nick was attracted to ‘this breath…’by its off-beat originality in a world where perhaps the only thing that might save us from self-inflicted demise is ‘imagination’.
