Dominic James Colenso was born on August 27, 1981 in Harlow, Essex a town in the south of England. At the age of seven Dominic moved to Benson a small village in rural Oxfordshire. It was here that he caught ‘the acting bug’ appearing in his primary school’s musicals, singing in the choir and acting in youth productions with the local amateur dramatic society.
Dominic completed his secondary school education at the local comprehensive, Wallingford School. Here he attained an A* grade for GCSE Drama and was once again an active participant in the school productions. In contrast to his theatrical temperament, he was also an avid rugby player, playing for a local club, his school and representing Oxfordshire on numerous occasions.
In 1997 Dominic moved with his family to Germany where he attended The International School of Düsseldorf. It was here that he decided he wanted to become a professional actor and threw himself into as many acting related activities as possible. He went all over Europe to drama and singing festivals juggling his academic studies with his passion for the stage. He played the leading roles in numerous productions and even turned his hand to directing as well.
Whilst living in Germany he also had the opportunity to go to Africa for one month to teach English in a summer school program. Dominic instantly fell in love with Tanzania, the country, its culture and most of all its people. In 2001 he returned once more to teach English and hopes that he will be able to do so again in the future.
Dominic graduated from Drama Centre London in 2002 with a BA honours in Acting. After an intensive three year training he went straight into work as a professional actor and has continued to work ever since. In the future Dominic would like to combine his career in acting with his aspiration to direct for the theatre.
