Tim Dry was born deep in the heart of suburbia in the 1950s. After dropping out of a Graphic Design course at Art School, he ended up as a hippie living in Brighton in the early 1970's.
He moved up to London in the hazy summer of 1976 to study Mime and Physical Theatre with Desmond Jones, and Lindsay Kemp (tutor to David Bowie and Kate Bush).
In 1980 Tim formed a rock/mime/burlesque/music troupe named Shock. They travelled the world, made some records, got a lot of press and found themselves in the vanguard of the New Romantic cult of the early '80's, alongside Boy George, Duran Duran, Adam Ant and Spandau Ballet.
Tim then created a robotic mime and music duo called Tik & Tok with Sean Crawford (also a member of Shock). They toured with Gary Numan on his UK "Warriors" tour in '83, worked with Vangelis, were supported by a fledgling Depeche Mode, got a lot more press coverage and released 5 singles and a well received album. They appeared on innumerable TV shows (including The Royal Variety Show 1983) and had featured roles in the third Star Wars movie "Return Of The Jedi", and a cheesy, horror/ man in a rubber suit/sci fi flick entitled "Xtro".
I had the honor of having this interview with him on march 8, 2006
