Professional Acting Coach for Public Speaking, Audition Prep, Drama Creativity and Confidence

If you are preparing for a drama school audition or a public speaking event, if you are looking to build your confidence and expression through the development of acting skills or if you are keen to expand your creative writing skills as a playwright, I would love to help you.

I am a professional actress and movement director and I deliver one-to-one drama tuition sessions and full day workshops that are tailored to suit your individual needs. I have worked as an acting teacher and public speaking coach for all age groups (from ages 3 - 80!) for 24 years and it is a great passion and privilege of mine to assist in this way, seeing my students' evolution.

I have both a diploma and a degree in Acting (LAMDA, Associate Acting Diploma/ Rose Bruford, BA Hons Acting) and I have trained with Gecko physical theatre company. As well as performing for decades on stage and on screen, I have also run The Bedlam Bunch Children's Theatre and Entertainment since 2007, through which I have written and directed numerous stage plays as well as interactive, immersive shows for children aged 3 - 9 years. I also founded and ran Outburst Theatre from 2010 - 2019 as a platform to bring communities together in South East London via educational theatre projects. As a solo artist, I have written and produced three one-woman stage shows - "Raw Cake", "Through the Hourglass" and "The Wonky Shonky Show" - all performed in London, UK.

I look forward to working with you and being part of your journey!

About Me

I'm a professional actress, movement director, choreographer, clown and theatre-maker with a huge passion for teaching! Throughout my performing career, which has been rich with a very varied mix of theatre and film roles as well as writing and producing numerous stage comedies for children with my children's theatre company, The Bedlam Bunch, and three one-woman plays, I have always taught others my craft because it fulfils me enormously to see others develop through the magic of drama and performance.

I started life as a dancer and, after emerging from my professional acting training at Rose Bruford, found that I fitted naturally into the realm of physical theatre. Over the years, I took on various movement directing jobs for theatre companies and became a movement coach for students at drama schools, such as Identity Drama School, London. My teaching work has led me to work with children of all ages and adults, too, including well-known public speakers.

I live in Cranleigh where I am currently movement directing for an open-air theatre production of Wind in the Willows.

Education

BA Hons degree in Acting (Rose Bruford College, UK), Associate Acting Diploma (LAMDA, UK). School education (A-Levels and GCSEs) all in the UK. Further training with Gecko Theatre, UK.

Experience / Qualifications

24 years of professional industry experience in stage, film and television as an actress, movement director, playwright and theatre director. BA Hons degree in Acting (Rose Bruford College, UK), Associate Acting Diploma (LAMDA, UK).

French lessons with a native speaker For every level
As a native French speaker living in such a cosmopolitan and diverse city as London, I believe that a lot of people would like to learn French. we would evaluate your level with a simple conversation to get to know each other and see if we’re compatible as a student/teacher, and start planning a timeline for your objectives. Then I will adapt the class depending on your level, your expectations. It could be either conversations to practice speaking, more school-oriented classes, more work-oriented ones...

Patrick
Acting Teacher / Drama facilitator / Workshop Leader
"Who knew gaining experience as an actor and experiencing performing in a dramatic fashion could be done with such quick results, passion and fun. Why didn't I start earlier? In saying that it might just be him." As a teacher, course leader and facilitator, I have taught all ages for over 20 years. Whether it's primary school children on a Saturday wanting fun games and dramatic exercises building confidence and dramatic experience or professional actors preparing for a series regular, my skills are hard to match. Still a professional actor at the cutting edge of the business, my experience remains invaluable and I still enjoy sharing it and passing it down.
