Information About Christopher - Hampstead teacher

Personal Description:

I am an actor with experience in stage, film and tv work. I am passionate about teaching dramatic arts both live and recorded forms. I am of Greek origin and speak the language fluently, this includes the classics.

Theatre projects include: Julius Caesar, Much Ado About Nothing and A Chorus Of Disapproval and Wladimir Mayakovsky.

Teaching Approach:

I believe in breaking down texts and actions to their simpliest forms and systematically building up, therefore always having an understanding of the actions at hand.
I try to establish a physical and mental connection from the begining and then treat as a building block therefore justifying each action both verbal and physical.
I understand what is expected by assessors and casting directors within the industry and the difference between forcing an action and letting it flow naturally which is the desired result.
