About
As a director with extensive practical experience in both filmmaking and performance, I bring a unique and invaluable perspective to teaching acting. Having worked closely with actors across film, TV, and creative performance projects, I deeply understand what directors truly seek, authenticity, vulnerability, and a performer s ability to tell truthful stories on camera and stage. My professional journey has also included working from the actors point of view, allowing me to empathise with the challenges and processes they face. This dual insight, into the demands of direction and the lived experience of performance, equips me to support students in developing confidence, creative risk-taking, and performance technique grounded in honesty and presence. I am passionate about fostering each student s individuality, helping them connect instinctively with performance choices while nurturing professional skills that prepare them for real industry situations. My teaching approach is rooted in collaboration, creativity, and authenticity, with the aim of empowering every student to discover their voice and excel as compelling performers.
