Charlie Dore

Charlie Dore (born 1956, Pinner, Middlesex) is an English singer-songwriter and actress.

Although best known as a singer-songwriter, Dore has a multi-faceted career that includes acting in film, TV and radio, comedy-improvisation and composition for film and TV. She studied drama at the Arts Educational School, Tring and London.

Career

Early years

Dore worked for two years in repertory in Newcastle at the Tyneside Theatre Company, starting in the touring company, Stagecoach, where she performed in theatres, schools, streets, a psychiatric hospital, Oxford University and the Swan Hunter shipyard canteen. She later progressed to the more conventional auditorium, where she appeared in several shows directed by Michael Bogdanov, including a rock musical version of the Bacchae, Orgy by C.P. Taylor, Oh, What a Lovely War! and Joe Orton's What the Butler Saw.

Moving back to London she worked in fringe theatre and then joined Thames TV's long-running series Rainbow for 18 months, writing and performing songs with Julian Littman, whom she had met at drama school, and Karl Johnson, an actor-musician from the Tyneside Theatre Company.

Dore is a large village in South Yorkshire, England. The village lies on a hill above the River Sheaf which gave Sheffield its name, and until 1934 was part of Derbyshire, but it is now a suburb of the city. Dore is served by Dore and Totley railway station on the Hope Valley Line between Sheffield and Manchester. The railway tunnel between Dore and Totley under a limb of the Pennines to Hathersage in Derbyshire is the longest such in England, second only to the Severn Tunnel between England and South Wales. They are the longest main line railway tunnels anywhere in Great Britain - the London Underground and Channel Tunnel to France excepted, of course. Dore has long enjoyed a reputation of being Sheffield's wealthiest suburb, and Dore and Totley was the only ward of the city which regularly elected a Conservative councillor. However, as of May 2008 all three councillors were Liberal Democrats. The Member of Parliament for Sheffield Hallam constituency, of which Dore is part, is Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg, who from 2010 until 2015 served as Britain's deputy prime minister in the Coalition government.

Dore Programme

The Dore programme or Dore program offers an individualized program which aims to improve skills such as reading and writing, attention and focus, social skills and sports performance through twice daily, targeted physical exercises. Dore has been used with individuals with dyslexia, ADHD, developmental coordination disorder, Asperger's, and other learning difficulties which has been developed with researchers in Britain and elsewhere. It consists of a series of exercises which are designed to improve the functioning of the cerebellum, based on Dore's belief that the cerebellum facilitates skill development and therefore plays an essential role in the learning process.

No conclusive study has been performed on the Dore Program which has met the criteria for a randomised controlled trial. In May 2008 the predecessor to Dore, a company known as DDAT (Dyslexia Dyspraxia Attention Treatment), went into liquidation in the UK. Currently, the Dore programme operates in 6 countries, working in partnership with schools, agencies, and other organizations.
