Performer | Theatre-maker | Educator
Teaching
My teaching grows from my work as a performer and theatre-maker, bringing together music, physical theatre, clowning and devised performance. Informed by my training at the Jacques Lecoq International Theatre School, I explore how the body, music and imagination can open unexpected pathways into acting.
Through movement, improvisation and play, I encourage performers to trust their impulses, respond to others and make their own theatrical propositions. Music is an active partner in this process, provoking unfamiliar rhythms, energies and ways of being. I’m interested in how these discoveries become available in performance - in a gesture, a relationship, the unfolding of a scene - and in developing the freedom and precision to follow them further.
UPCOMING WORKSHOP
The Resonating Actor
From physical impulse to theatrical action
A two-day practical acting workshop exploring how the body and music can lead us towards unexpected theatrical discoveries.
Through movement, improvisation and play, we’ll explore how physical and imaginative experiences can develop into dramatic actions, relationships and situations onstage.
Beginning with physical openness and imaginative exploration, we’ll move towards gestures, encounters and dramatic situations, discovering what remains available when the music stops.
For professional and emerging actors, singers and theatre-makers.
