About
Since graduating from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in 2014, I have had the privilege of returning to various drama schools to share the skills and life lessons I have acquired over more than a decade in the industry.
Specialising in devised theatre, I have been fortunate to collaborate with several of the top drama schools in the UK delivering on various projects from Directing final year shows, masterclasses and Q&A's and being a VL for acting/devising techniques over the course of a term.

An online drama school, delivering weekly acting technique classes and pre-recorded modules.

Welcoming in the new BA cohort from all courses, I created and delivered a week of devised workshops based around Welsh Myth & Folklore to help new students orientate themselves to their new home, whilst learning to cross collaborate with other courses from day one of their 3 year journey.
Working alongside Catherine Alexander, we each took half of the 2nd year BA: Acting students, and adapted a pieces of poetry by Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano. The result was an hour long piece of shifting textural worlds exploring memory, home and identity called 'Recordar.'

The week also ended with a mock-audition, to help simulate and bridge the gap between their education and the professional world.
A one off masterclass and Q&A on what it takes to be an actor musician, best practices and how to generate ideas within the musical realm.
