I am passionate about a good story and a truthful presence, and believe that ongoing training and classes help actors, writers and directors to stay creatively fit and active, and ready to take on the next job.
My teaching and coaching approach builds on the importance of analysing text, releasing the imagination, and enabling emotional availability. The training methods of Stanislavski, Michael Chekhov and Laban-Malmgren are amongst my own favourites. Building on the established skills and approaches, the actor is then empowered to discover and identify the tools most suited to further develop their own work on stage and in front of the camera.
Class types
