About me
I have over ten years directing experience, working exclusively with new writing.My approach to directing is actor centric, partly because I’m also a professionally trained actor (completing ALRA’s one-year postgraduate course in 2005), but more so because I believe it’s the best way to work. In rehearsal I invest time exploring character and emotion through improvisation, I create an environment where actors can experiment, take risks, make decisions and showcase their creativity. This intense focus on the actor’s process and how they listen to one another makes the final performance engaging, truthful and powerful.
Additional skills:
Role-play, Forum Theatre, Coaching, Devising, Writing, Improvising, Facilitating, Presenting.
Referees:
Carolyn Lloyd-Davies, Writer & Producer
Sean Tyler, Writer
Rob Swinton, Director
Additional information:
My ‘survival’ job for the last 14 years has kept me close to the theatre world; I run a small, acting-based training company, Acting for Change. Much of the work we do is devised and/or improvised. I also do a great deal of role-play, improvisation, writing and directing of forum theatre.
