Teaching Approach:

I have a holistic and detailed approach to drama training, these are the four cornerstones of my teaching-

Self-discovery – we will investigate and interrogate the world, challenging your own persona; habits and preconceptions and opening yourself to your own potential. learning to accept uncertainty and failure as part of the process of change and growth, all the while championing curiosity, originality and artistic courage.

Artistry – the skills you need to build your craft as an actor so that your imagination and creativity can find expression in truthful characterisation and in the telling of complex and profound stories that offer insights into our world and the human condition.

Empowerment – within the safety of our creative space, I encourage the honest exchange of thoughts and ideas, the sharing of creative inspiration and the generosity of spirit which should always characterise a true actor.

Tradition and innovation – a commitment to studying longstanding theories and practices while welcoming innovation and new vision.
