Some stills from some of the films and theatre l've worked on over the past couple of years.

I've been lucky enough to work on some wonderful projects with amazing and talented people who I have observed and learnt so much from.

Some of the techniques I used on these productions will be explored in my Acting for Beginners course which is beginning in October.

I'm delighted to see bookings come in for the course, but places are limited so be sure to email me if you're interested in securing a place.

The course is for 8 weeks and is aimed at beginners and developing actors, focusing on how to approach a scene and character with as much specificity as possible to ensure the most truthful performance.

Tuesday inspiration. The epitome of a truthful actor. John Cazale showed his versatility and range in five masterpieces, The Godfather 1 and 2, Dog Day Afternoon, the Conversation and The Deer Hunter.

The greatest there was. Fearless, funny, powerful, vulnerable, so exciting and beyond beautiful. She was so authentic and truthful in everything she did.
Nothing about her asked for approval or permission. She was truly one of a kind.

This Acting Class for Beginners will take place over 8 weeks starting this October.

It is a space where developing actors will have the opportunity to create a fun and safe environment while studying some of the beginning techniques of acting such as characterisation, imagination, preparation, moment to moment, movement and objectives. We will begin to explore different characters and scenes by delving into some of the great scripts and plays from both film and theatre.
