Tim Dry’s virtuoso memoir of a life in arts, rises and falls through the worlds of art school, mime and New Romantic pop, to the cinema of Star Wars and the theatre of Steven Berkoff, hallucinogenic drugs, internationally-prized photography, a globetrottery of commercials and a career in literature. From a childhood encounter with a UFO to playing an alien monster in the cult film, Xtro; from seeing The Beatles as a boy to working with Angie Bowie, and performing in front of 100,000 people with Gary Numan, Tim Dry breaks into a theatre to see Kate Bush; makes a highwire appearance on stage with Duran Duran; photographs Mick Jagger; is paid to go berserk as a robot in Germany; has a week-long near nude scene in a film with Ann-Margaret; encounters Her Majesty The Queen; and presents a food programme on Channel 4. All this and much, much more.
Tim Dry is a mime artist, writer, photographic artist,musician and actor, best known for appearing in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and for being half of a duo, Tik and Tok, who emerged out of 'Shock' the dance troupe at the forefront of the New Romantic pop movement, and who played shows with Gary Numan, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode and Adam Ant. Tim Dry's career in the arts continued into film and theatre (where he worked with Ann-Margaret and Steven Berkoff); photography (his continually selling portfolio includes Mick Jagger); and more recently literature. He is a contributor to Forbes.
