One-to-One Coaching

I work with actors and students at every stage of their journey, from those preparing for drama school auditions or LAMDA exams to professionals wanting to reconnect with their craft or strengthen their work for stage and screen.

Each session is shaped around the person in front of me. Some actors want to build confidence and structure; others want to rediscover play, freedom, or truth in performance. I aim to create a space that is both focused and open, where technique supports imagination and curiosity.

Training may include:

• Drama School Preparation
  Guidance on selecting and refining speeches, exploring the character’s drive, emotional life, and given circumstances, and developing tools for voice, body, and presence.

• GCSE / A-Level / LAMDA Coaching
  Support for monologues, devised pieces, and exam work, helping students bring clarity, confidence, and imagination to performance.

• Professional Development
  Scene and character work for theatre, film, or television, audition and self-tape preparation, and strategies for sustaining craft and creativity between projects.

Throughout, we explore how voice, breath, and physical presence work together, freeing tension, expanding range, and keeping the connection between thought and movement alive. The work draws from Trish Arnold’s Pure Movement, practical text analysis, and exercises that encourage spontaneity and truthful response, helping actors connect more deeply to impulse, precision, and presence.

I offer a free 30-minute introductory meeting to discuss your goals, answer questions, and explore how we might work together.

My aim is to help you create work that feels real, specific, and alive, wherever you are in your journey.

Workshops & Ensemble Training

My workshops bring actors together to explore the connection between body, language, and imagination through collective practice. Working in an ensemble creates a shared energy, a space to listen, respond, and take creative risks together.

Each workshop is shaped around the group’s interests and level of experience. Sessions draw on movement, voice, and text work to develop physical awareness, presence, and clarity in storytelling.

Work may include:

• Fundamental Movement / Pure Movement
  Exploring alignment, coordination, and responsiveness through breath, sensation, and impulse. The work develops awareness, strength, and rhythm, releasing habitual tension and expanding physical range. It builds a foundation for expressive clarity, focus, and imaginative play, connecting body and intention in performance.

• Neutral Mask
  Cultivating openness and readiness, an attentive state where movement is free of habit and excess. As an acting exercise, it helps actors recognise physical habits in a visceral way and develop greater clarity, economy, and truth in their movement and response, allowing impulse to lead with freedom and presence.

• Animal Studies
  Exploring transformation through observation and embodiment. The work encourages physical listening to instinct and form, helping actors discover new rhythms and ways of being that open pathways into character and presence.

• Greek Tragedy and Classical Work
  Engaging with the physical and vocal life of heightened text. Actors explore choral odes, messenger speeches, and chorus movement, finding depth and precision through rhythm, imagery, and shared breath. The focus is on collective presence, clarity of thought, and the relationship between language, space, and ensemble.

• Text and Embodiment
  Working from the body toward language. Actors explore how rhythm, intention, and thought find expression through movement and sound, where meaning is discovered in action.

Workshops can be designed for theatre schools, ensembles, companies, or independent actors who want to deepen their craft, reconnect with body and voice, and explore how classical and contemporary texts come alive through movement and presence.
