Tamur grew up in an apartment house that fathers built with their own hands for their families. Throughout life, everything there was done jointly, together. He spent his summers on a small island swimming in the sea and his winters skiing in the wild forest. When Tamur was seven, his mother took him to theatre school. This soon became his second home, namely through the caring and nurturing shared space. The family lived on the edge of town, where wild animals were often seen on the streets, and Tamur attended a school that had a wooden staircase and an attic. He lived in a capital city, but also like in a village. This simplicity has never left him, even though he made his professional acting debut at thirteen as the lead in the TV drama New Boy. At eighteen, Tamur Tohver had the lead role in his debut radio drama. He has spent well over half his life in rehearsal studios, acting in front of the camera or on stage, or behind the scenes holding his breath and hoping the actors do well in the show he has directed. For the audience to breathe in unison with the stage. Tamur has brought to you all the stories that matter to him, with more than five hundred actors of different gender, nationality, race, age, incomes, levels of preparation, and fame. This journey is far from being finished! Tamur has directed extensive project work and coached executive self-development. Today, Tamur Tohver is halfway through his PhD at Manchester Metropolitan University on the actor-director interrelationship and stage fright that engenders conflict and is detrimental to creativity, artistic results and health. Tamur has over eighty theatre productions in his portfolio and his second book about directing – theatre directing (the first was about directing radio drama) – is to be published soon. Never … Not ever has he placed himself at the centre of all that. Always … Not always has he known at the outset exactly why he does things in a particular way – while doing those specific things. But he has always known that it all comes back to us and takes us forward. Thank you to you–who have been doing those things with Tamur!
