About me
Richard is a Theatre Maker, Actor Trainer and Movement Director based in London, working internationally. Having graduated from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts as an Actor, he later re-entered education to hone his skills as an Actor Trainer at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. While at Central, the focus of his study resided in the use of play in Actor Training with particular reference to the Conservatoire model. His research whilst studying culminated in an advocacy for a ‘pedagogy of playfulness’ in Actor Training, which reaches beyond the scope of any given approach. Since graduating, he has gained experience both within a Conservatoire and University context, working on both Skills Classes, Performance Projects, Public Performances and Showcase.Within Richard’s distinctly playful and physical practice, his primary interests lie in providing agency to the Actor, engaging with transformation and risk-taking – seeking to release each individual’s unique artistic voice and potential. His interests are evenly distributed between technique and pedagogy and remains adaptive to the needs of the room. Fundamental elements of his praxis reside in engaging the imagination, sensory awareness and observation. Richard is equally at home within contexts of Devising, Physical Theatre, New Writing and Text-Based Work.
