Phyn Nevelle sang her first solo in a leading role in musical theater at the age of three - it happened in kindergarten, she was cast as an angel (which never happened again), and the experience started a life-long passion for creating and performing. Nowadays, she leads a company called "Nevelle", which can be found at www.nevelle.co.uk, and which combines her passion for performing, her experience in change management in the corporate world, and her deep passion for animal welfare and the natural environment, while she also leads projects helping employees with the changes that are predicted to come to the world of employment. Her creative career started with solo performances with piano and clarinet in numerous recitals and competitions, as well as contributions to several amateur and semi-professional choirs, orchestras and bands as child and teenager, culminating in one performance in Carnegie Hall, New York with the excellent Ankeny High School choir from Iowa. Theater also became a passion in her teens, when creating a variety of characters in several school and amateur plays and musicals. During the subsequent years at university in Europe, where she completed her legal studies, she took Opera singing lessons and earned some additional income as a singer in a 60's band. While finishing her Law degree in Miami, Forida, Phyn started to train as an actress under Stewart Solomon ('Gloria Estefan's personal acting coach at the time) in his acting school "Creative Workshops". Since then she has been cast in parts ranging from a plastic bag to the leading woman's role in 'Side by Side by Sondheim'. Leading parts in the US also included Madam Thoreau in 'Cafe Noir', 'Sue' in the 'Plastic Murder Case', 'Mama' in Paul Louis's version of 'Jack and the Beanstalk', a short appearance in the award-winning feature film Rope Art (2000), and a leading role in the independent short 'A gift for Izzy'. Her debut in London was the solo 'Time heals everything' from Mack and Mabel in the London Palladium. It was followed by the role of one of 12 Elizabethan players in "The March of Time" in Wellingborough, a stage production with the budget of £1/2 million, which was lateraired on local television. The cast included among others Richard Todd (launch), Arnold Peterson, and Sandra Payne. She returned to London for the role of 'The singer' in Bafta-award winner Julia Pascal's 'Woman in the moon' - directed and produced by Pascal, who cast her straight from there for her next production 'The Yiddish Queen Lear' (Bridewell, London, off-West End), where Phyn co-starred in the role of 'Annie' and also doubled as a musician and acting musical director. The cast in this production included Ruth Posner and Amanda Boxer. Phyn's Film credits include leading and supporting roles in Independent films, the latest few being the supporting role of Levi Modai in the American TV series 'American Skin II: Eagles Gathering', the leading role of 'Sam' in the dramatic short film 'Flipside', 'Jeri' in 'Emile revisited', the part 'Petra' in Tom Griffith's feature film Wheels (2002) (also credited as 'Filmmaker' under alias for her work as co-producer and location director), and she recorded several different voice-overs, all used in the documentary Jerry Love (2002), shown on BBC Four. Her work 'below the line' earned her an up-front editing credit for Rope Art (2000), the winner in the genre-category 'Best Thriller' at New York's Independent Film Festival September 2001 (under alias). Environmental issues were always a topic of awareness growing up, so Phyn has been giving back to the planet through volunteer work in several human and animal charities, shelters and rescue organizations, or by providing a home for rescue animals, for several decades, and she is continuing to do so. With years of experience as a negotiator, legal counsel, and project- and change manager in an international context for multi-national organizations and projects across multiple disciplines, she is passionate about finding win-win solutions between humans and the natural world with her company "Nevelle". At the same time, she believes in taking care of people, which is what her new book and upcoming Video series ("So you need a new job. Also called "Now what??!", available at www.nevelle.co.uk) is about - 30-50% of employees are forecast to lose their job in the next 3-5 years due to digitization, automation, and globalization, and a lot of these employees have never done any other job or profession before in their life, and are not used to working themselves into a new field after that first job, or have any strategy how to find that new job, career or mission. She would like to help people find that, and has developed a system of how to get there. If the new job, career, or mission leads to more creativity, more fulfillment, and a greater benefit for the world as a whole, all the better. She strongly believe that what is good for people, and what is good for animals and the environment is not mutually exclusive, but that when we take care of each other, a beautiful synergy is created, with which both of us are more than without the other - like in a beautiful marriage, where 1 + 1 is not just 2, but 3, 4, 5, 10 or 100, because we benefit each other in so many ways, physically, emotionally, and, yes, spiritually. We already know that it is a physical reality that everything is connected - if we pollute the environment, we pollute ourselves. Maybe it is time to realize that this reality surpasses the physical. - IMDb Mini Biography By: anonymous
